This book was released on 2013 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the estimated 70 million children in the United States, 6 million to 9 million have a serious emotional disturbance. However, only 1 in 5 of these children receives any professional help. Over the years, the view of children's mental health services has changed. This new thinking has altered how occupational therapy services are perceived and implemented. In addition to providing services to children diagnosed with a mental illness, occupational therapy professionals can help children develop and maintain mental health in school, community, and mental health settings. Using an evidence-based perspective and public health model, this Practice Guideline provides an overview of the occupational therapy process for mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention for children ages 3 to 21 years. It defines the occupational therapy domain, process, and interventions that occur within the boundaries of acceptable practice with this underserved population. Interventions include those for promotion, prevention, and intensive individualized care on topics such as social skills, health promotion, play/recreation/leisure, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proactive Approaches in Psychosocial Occupational Therapy is an exciting text that describes the broad spectrum of current and emerging occupational therapy practice in mental health. The authors are recognized leaders in the field who have met the challenges of psychosocial occupational therapy practice to design and present programs that can be readily modeled by students and practitioners. Their practical and reality-based writings provide the reader with a solid foundation in the sociopolitical issues and health care market trends that effect current and future occupational therapy practice. Strategies for program development, management, and evaluation are presented with over 30 chapters devoted to occupational therapy intervention programs across the mental health continuum of care—from acute care to day treatment to transitional living to vocational rehabilitation to psychogeriatrics. All programs are clearly described to facilitate effective implementation. Individual, group, and population-based programming is also included. An extensive section on contemporary areas of practice includes multiple chapters on forensic psychiatry, school-based psychosocial practice, case management, wellness and prevention, home health, employee assistance programs, and programs for individuals who are homeless or victims of domestic violence. This essential content is often relegated to mere paragraphs or single chapters in other OT textbooks, but the authors of Proactive Approaches in Psychosocial Occupational Therapy have recognized the need for comprehensive and practical guidelines for expanding the occupational therapist’s role in community systems of care. The text also includes Clark’s et al’s landmark research on the role of OT with the well elderly. Sections on the personal perspective of mental illness from consumers and family members present the reader with humanistic and diverse cultural viewpoints while providing solid guidance for holistic collaboration. Fine’s inspiring Eleanor Clark Slagle lecture on resilience, which is viewed as a literary gift to the OT profession, is also included. The sociopolitical and cultural contexts of mental illness and the realities of external forces on the practice of psychosocial OT are clearly addressed. There are detailed figures, comprehensive case studies, evaluation and program protocols, tables, and marketing and promotion strategies including a comprehensive list of 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Promote OT in Mental Health. The text is organized into thematic sections with clearly written introductions, providing continuity between chapters and thought-provoking questions for class discussion, lab activities, and course assignments making it an excellent textbook for OT and OTA coursework. Proactive Approaches for Psychosocial Occupational Therapy provides an “at your fingertips” library of excellent primary resources for students, educators, and practitioners. The text concludes with a comprehensive section on professional development and the attainment, maintenance, and promotion of excellence. Practitioners will find this text to be reaffirming of their commitment to mental health while providing them with new ideas for best practice. Students will be inspired by the role models for excellence and practice opportunities presented through this dynamic text.

Download or read book Occupational Therapy Practice Framework Domain and Process written by Aota and published by AOTA Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As occupational therapy celebrates its centennial in 2017, attention returns to the profession's founding belief in the value of therapeutic occupations as a way to remediate illness and maintain health. The founders emphasized the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the knowledge about a client's context and environment, values, goals, and needs. Using today's lexicon, the profession's founders proposed a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client centered, and evidence based--the vision articulated in the third edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process. The Framework is a must-have official document from the American Occupational Therapy Association. Intended for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this new edition includes the following highlights: a redefinition of the overarching statement describing occupational therapy's domain; a new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and populations; further delineation of the profession's relationship to organizations; inclusion of activity demands as part of the process; and even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today's occupational therapy practitioners. Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that practitioners can use to meet this important goal.

This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents "Action Over Inertia," a recovery-orientated, strengths-based approach to address the profound disruptions in daily activities and community participation often experienced by those living with serious mental illnesses. With a focus on supported "doing", the Action Over Inertia approach engages individuals in small activity and participation efforts as an opening to making longer term and sustained changes that offer meaning and well-being. The book helps service providers develop their own knowledge of activities and the health and well-being benefits an individual might receive from activities. It also asks them to consider the biases, assumptions, and constraints that might impact their ability to implement interventions related to activity and participation. A range of worksheets, resources, vignettes, and other tools are provided to support this practice. The manual was developed from the knowledge and practice of occupational science and therapy, but it will be of interest to any mental health professional, peer-provider, administrator, or policy maker interested in promoting recovery for people with serious mental illness
