Early provides an excellent, extensive review of all aspects of OT in the mental health setting. The book should be used by all OT practitioners, both OTRs and COTAs, in practice. The work defines most conditions encountered, the characteristics and behaviors of such conditions, and specific adaptations to therapeutic media, the environment, and one’s attitude and conduct to best address such conditions.
