hood luck on that one, I dint think there are books out there. I ran a day treatment for mentally ill clients, all deemed Tx resistant, at a residence for 5 1/2 years. One thing I found out is that standard day treatment cant be used, it bores the people to death. On top of that, Tx needs to change with the clients changing needs. For activities we did a lot of game playing for socialization, favorites were uno, dominoes and a few other card games. I also let them play Gestures, where they have to act out something. We read the newspaper for quite a while and discussed it, went to garage sales for supplies, cooked, and had lots of arts and crafts. twice a month we played bingo, once for small prizes like, deodorants, shampoo, socks, etc and once for fresh fruits which they couldn't get enough of at the residence. We took day trips around the state, talked about everything under the sun, started solving problems, build a cohesive group, did planning, and changed attitudes along with behaviors. For me it was a 24/7 labor of love. I was constantly looking for new ideas and better ways of doing things. If you care and try to understand you will do fine. You just need to give it some time. Tees people have been in institutions most of their lives, have taken use and abuse and survived in a manner of speaking. It takes time to win their trust. Good Luck.
