"This is a valuable text for graduate-level courses in multiple disciplines that deal with assessment, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning for serious mental illness. The authors provide an accessible combination of theories, research, concrete examples, and interventions. Corrigan's strengths-based perspective is cutting-edge, supportive, and, most important, patient focused."--Marc V.

The comprehensively updated third edition of this book demonstrates the potency of psychiatric rehabilitation services and strategies for helping people achieve their goals and function in their desired community roles.
