A person-centered, recovery-oriented, and occupation-based approach
to mental health across the lifespan. This revision of a well-loved

recovery. Rely on this groundbreaking text to guide you through an
evidence-based approach to helping clients with mental health
disorders on their recovery journey by participating in meaningful
occupations. Understand the recovery process for all areas of their
lives-physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental-and know how to
manage co-occurring conditions. Content has been updated to follow
the most current DSM-5 information and best practices from the
evidence. New chapters highlight changes in occupational therapy
practice and settings, and additional assessment and intervention
content strengthens the applicability to current practice. Uses the
Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model as a framework to promote
the full participation in the lives of individuals with mental
illness and those struggling with psychosocial issues related to
their disabilities. - Features first-person "The Lived Experience,"
narratives that give voice to the experience of living with a
mental illness - Incorporates "Photo Voice" features, a blend of
photography and personal stories that enable individuals to record

Occupational therapy practitioners and other clinicians understand
the importance of accurately evaluating a client’s ability to
accomplish necessary everyday tasks, especially those in the
community setting. The Test of Grocery Shopping Skills is a new
performance-based assessment that measures how accurately and
efficiently clients can locate items in a grocery store. Developed
primarily to assess individuals with serious mental illness, this
assessment also is ideal for use with other populations in which
cognitive impairments could interfere with community living skills,
such as persons with brain injury, stroke, dementia, or
developmental disabilities. The manual clearly discusses how to
administer the test and to score and interpret results. Two
different but statistically comparable pre- and post-test forms
allow practitioners to measure changes in clients’ abilities.
This user-friendly assessment also includes instructions for the
test administrator and test taker, score sheets, grocery lists, and
a sample store map and answer sheet—all of which are available on
the enclosed CD-ROM for easy use with clients and also in the
classroom.
