A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Accountability, full engagement of clients in their treatment, emphasis on quality of life, and movement away from inpatient care all have contributed to significant changes in how occupational therapists and other health care providers view the evaluation process and the methods by which they evaluate. The comprehensive approach of this book reflects the growing confidence in occupational therapy's ability to evaluate clients and the means by which we evaluate them. It reflects the increasing maturity of a profession that is prepared to assert its own value and clarify its ability to develop its own practices and principles. It also has tremendous value to occupational therapists who find themselves struggling to provide the best possible care in a complicated world.
