A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Competence in any profession depends upon an understanding of the theory that underlies it. This concise and practical text for students and practitioners bridges the gap between occupational therapy theory and practice, offering highly practical advice on using theory in a wide range of settings. It considers the nature of professional practice and the need for a sound theoretical basis from which to plan, implement and justify interventions, and investigates the practical use of occupational therapy theory and the issues such use raises in health and social care settings from a European perspective.

Every occupational therapy student worldwide needs to know about the underlying theory of their profession and its use in practice. The book particularly debates the nature of the theory of occupational therapy via the introduction of the concept of models of the profession as an umbrella for practice. The use of this umbrella is then brought to life via a range of case studies and practice situations, incorporating expert advice, reflection exercises as well as some practical ideas for assessment and evaluation forms.

Revue de presse :

Regardless of where you are on your career trajectory; whether you need a gentle introduction to theory as a student or a refresher course on models or occupational science as an experienced practitioner, this book will have something for you. It ensures that we can all reconnect with the concept of theory and how it should underpin our practice.   (British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1 February 2014)

"Overall, this edited text provides relevant food for thought for all therapists and would challenge students to consider serious implementation issues." (Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, December 2012)
