From the Back Cover
Psychiatric Rehabilitation, 2e was written explicitly to appeal as a course text for classes in this rapidly growing field. New to the second edition are sections added to each chapter on evidence-based practices, as well as future research directions and two new chapters.
The book follows a logical progression from an introduction to the field, to the symptoms and etiology of severe mental illness, to course, treatment, and outcome of severe and persisitent mental illness. The book discusses the goals, values, and guiding principles of psychiatric rehabilitation, methods utilized, day programming, and case management. A new chapter discusses the issues of dual diagnosis for substance abuse and mental illness. Separate chapters discuss vocational rehabilitation and supported education, and closing chapters discuss residential services and independent living, self-help and peer-delivered services, a new chapter on psychiatric rehabilitation within the hospital settings, and the role of the family in psychiatric rehabilitation across settings and services.
Written in one clear voice, each chapter begins with an outline and introduction, contains special boxed sections addressing controversial issues and key topics, and has a case study to illustrate principles discussed in the text. Evidence based practices are highlighted in a special section, future research directions are contained in another section, and the chapters conclude with a summary, class exercises, and references.
Key features:
Case study examples illustrate chapter points
Special boxed sections address controversial issues and key topics
Evidence based practices called out in new section for each chapter
Glossary highlights and defines key terms
Class exercises provided at close of each chapter

- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2010I'm a parent to a young adult son with schizophrenia. Like so many others in my position, I have been navigating the maelstrom of mental disability. Tossing and turning on such turbulent seas, I have been hankering for a safe harbor of understanding from which I can chart a more productive course. I have found it in Psychiatric Rehabilitation, a wonderful textbook by Carlos Pratt, et.al. at University of Medicine and Dentristry of New Jersey, one of the few schools which actually teaches this subject at a graduate level. (Boston University and University of Illinois at Chicago are the other two.)
Psychiatric rehabilitation is a relatively new field within mental health. Originated by early adopters like William Anthony of Boston University and Robert Drake of Dartmouth Medical School, psychiatric rehabilitation proposes to turn the traditional concepts of mental illness on their heads. No longer are we talking illness and disability. We are now all about wellness and recovery. This makes perfect sense. As a cancer survivor myself, I appreciate an affirmative tone that this book projects... confidence... autonomy... VICTORY over affliction! The old thinking is about disability, illness, limits, constraints, restraints, disability... The new thinking, so well embodied in Pratt et.al.'s fine text, is all about empowerment, hope, recovery, POSSIBILITIES!
Psychiatric Rehabilitation describes it all well. For a loved one of someone with a mental illness, this book is a godsend. It speaks of the wonderful potentialities for all mentally afflicted to create a better life for themselves in their recoveries. All recoveries will differ. They all depend on the individual. Families also play a critical role. The beauty of this book is its laying out so lucidly all the possible elements of a holistic recovery, supported employment, supported education, and supported housing, just to mention three.
Never would I wish a mental illness on anyone. My son's PACT director says that mental illness is an ailment worse than cancer. At least with cancer there is a definitive end. I don't go that far. My son's mental illness, I tell my incredulous friends, has actually been a blessing: I have come to learn first-hand of the significant trauma that many loved ones navigating this maelstrom experience for themselves. The blessing is in the bonding with all of them. It is part of the spirit that Psychiatric Rehabilitation embraces.
This text lays out cogently, simply, articulately all the aspects of recovery available to our disabled. Its plain and direct explanations can help the afflicted--and their loved ones alike--to see ahead a better future. Psychiatric Rehabiliation, both this text and the movement it describes, is all about positive empowerment. More power to Carlos Gill et.al,. with thanks from this layman for this fine canonical text!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2011I bought this book for a class that I took over the summer. What I found was a text that, while dense at times, is very informative and I have learned a lot from reading it. Would I read it if there wasn't a class? no but it really does compliment a class setting and compliments what would be discussed in the classroom. Overall, a pretty decent text
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015I wanted to save money by not buying the latest edition. Although some of the info. from the 2nd edition is on different pages than the 3rd edition, so far all my required schoolwork is still in this older edition. In fact, both books seem to be the same other than page #'s. I am happy because I saved a lot of money.
