Develop the psychosocial skills to treat and address the mental health needs of clients in all practice settings! Psychosocial Occupational Therapy, 2nd Edition, uses evidence-based models to demonstrate effective occupational therapy for clients diagnosed with mental health conditions.

Case studies and models show how to apply the fourth edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) in selecting treatment strategies.
