Summary: Revising the "One Size Fits All" Model of Rehabilitation
Comment: Employment of those with severe mental illnesses remains one of the most challenging areas of vocational rehabilitation. Shafer et al. address the issues, attitudes, and stigmas faced by this population in a concise and well-constructed guide. Instead of an idealized and theoretical approach, these authors confront the realities of mental illnesses as they manifest in the workplace and suggest alternatives that are supported by empirical evidence. Their review of existing literature is thorough, and consideration of every aspect of the rehabilitation process makes for a comprehensive design model. This book will be useful to anyone vested in improving the quality of life for those with chronic mental illness. The best thing that can be said, however, is that it conveys hope to those who suffer these devastating conditions.
