  This text, aimed at mental health workers, looks at the power of actions and words as therapeutic tools. The techniques described encourage the use of a delicate interplay of both actions and words in group exercises which are described in detail, including materials, timing and problems for which the activity is recommended. In this edition of the handbook, the basic format and layout remain the same. The authors have, however, included current concepts in occupational therapy familiar to students in the 1990s.
