Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of occupationbased verbal therapy and occupation-based experiential therapy in the facilitation of money management skills in consumers of community mental health services. It was hypothesized that participants would demonstrate overall improvement and that the experiential group would demonstrate more improvement than the verbal group. Results indicated that although overall performance did improve, no significant difference between the verbal group and the experiential group was found. Implications for practice and future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
