The pervasive symptoms, impairments and disabilities experienced by individuals with serious and disabling mental disorders require a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to treatment and rehabilitation. This volume covers the seven areas of psychiatric practice that comprise comprehensive rehabilitation:

• Introductory overview
• Diagnosis
  
• Functional assessment
  
• Practical psychopharmacology
  
• Social skills training
  
• Family management
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Community support

Written for psychiatric residents, psychiatrists in practice, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and the full range of mental health and rehabilitation trainees and practitioners, the chapters on assessment and intervention methods are derived from the stress-vulnerability-coping-competence model of mental disorder and are abundantly illustrated with case examples and learning exercises for the reader. Designed for clinicians working with patients who have severe psychiatric disabilities, the book offers practical guidelines and treatment options that can be readily grasped and implemented. Family members and nonprofessional caregivers of the seriously mentally ill can also benefit from reading this book.
