Celebrating its evolution over thirty-four years, the sixth edition of Crouch and Alers Occupational Therapy in Psychiatry and Mental Health continues its legacy as a trailblazing guide, reshaped to address the challenges of a post-Covid, globalised world.

Led by renowned expert Rosemary Crouch, this edition embraces an inclusive perspective on human functionality, social inclusion, and participation in everyday life. Highlighting the pressing need for occupational therapy's role in addressing the burden of mental health disorders, it forecasts the staggering economic impact and emphasises prevention, resilience-building, and adaptive participation in daily activities. Featuring thirty interconnected chapters by seasoned practitioners and academics, this book:

  • Aligns with international mental health standards and sustainable development policies, emphasising universal health access and human rights
  • Covers key aspects of occupational therapy, exploring theoretical perspectives for mental health care practice, ethical considerations and cultural sensitivity, advocating for occupational justice, and breaking barriers in mental health care
  • Introduces case studies and reflective questions at the end of each chapter to foster the integration of theory with practical application for different age groups
  • Reflects upon emerging trends such as human ecosystem disruptions, spirituality and mental health, the impact of trauma on individuals and collectives, and maternal mental health concerns

Crouch and Alers Occupational Therapy in Psychiatry and Mental Health is ideal for occupational therapy students and newly qualified practitioners, as well as any health professional looking for an up-to-date, evidence-based resource on this aspect of mental health care.
