Occupational Therapy Practice in Mental Health: Models, Conditions, Interventions, and Recovery

The purpose of this book is to enhance the understanding of occupational therapy practice in mental health for all people around the globe, including consumers, families, students, occupational therapists, and other health professionals. This book presents a diverse range of views from authors around the world and is informed by all forms of knowledge, not just Western ways of knowing. Many of the authors of the chapters of this book are themselves from ethnic minority groups. Some of them are consumers of occupational therapy and mental health services. The authors reside in different parts of the world, including Africa, Oceania, and Europe. This was a deliberate effort to ensure that those diverse voices are heard, and that a diverse range of worldviews is included.
