M.B. Early is a great writer!! She makes the mental health area of OT easy to understand. She uses basic ideas and common terminology. This is a wonderful book for OT and OTA students. Early has really helped me to comprehend the mental health aspect. From an OTA student.

Early provides an excellent, extensive review of all aspects of OT in the mental health setting. The book should be used by all OT practitioners, both OTRs and COTAs, in practice. The work defines most conditions encountered, the characteristics and behaviors of such conditions, and specific adaptations to therapeutic media, the environment, and one's attitude and conduct to best address such conditions.

I was asked to teach a mental health class for occupational therapy students and this is the best book ever to use for a course like this! Great price at and quick delivery.

This was a good book. I would recommend it to an OTAS wanting to go into mental health. It gave good information on techniques to help with mental illness.

Great OT book this is a keeper.

Fast shipping and good product
