Health workers who provide services to persons with severe mental
illness are frequently under enormous stress; burnout is common.
Alleviating such stress is the objective of Interactive Staff
Training. The book provides rehabilitation and mental health
professionals with a strategy to help them and their colleagues work as
a well-integrated team. This strategy has been implemented in teams
serving more than 10,000 persons with psychiatric disabilities. The text
combines a careful description of the central theory behind the strategy
with pleanty of clinical anecdotes that illustrate its practical,
everyday benefits.
