Psychosocial rehabilitation encompasses practices designed to promote the recovery of individuals with severe mental health disorders (schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, severe personality disorders, etc.) or autism spectrum disorders. It focuses on identifying their resources, including cognitive ones, and strengthening their decision-making and action capacities. Bringing together a considerable amount of data, this seminal work, edited by Professor Nicolas Franck, allows readers to grasp the complexity, diversity, and richness of this discipline, which offers hope for both its users and professionals. It connects theoretical aspects with assessment and treatment programs and practical organizational structures. More than 200 authors contributed to its writing. Each of them, whether a professional (research professor, psychiatrist, neuropsychologist, clinical psychologist, occupational therapist, nurse, peer support worker, or network coordinator), a person affected by mental illness, or a family member, is particularly representative and recognized in their respective field. This book thus presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the reflections, research, and therapeutic approaches (psychoeducation, cognitive remediation, social cognition training, employment support, peer support, caregiver support, etc.) deployed in the field of psychosocial rehabilitation.
