Willard & Spackman's Occupational Therapy

An ideal reference, this market-leading text provides the most current and comprehensive presentation of occupational therapy concepts and practice. An occupation-based, client-centered and evidence-based approach to practice is described across a variety of community, education, and medical-based practice arenas. It answers the questions: "What will I do as an OT", "Who will I treat", and "Where will I practice?" Features include: - NEW Updated content to reflect trends in the field toward the centrality of occupation to practice, and the link between theory and practice. - NEW Reorganized chapters and units to enable a better flow throughout the text. This has been accomplished by: the new sequence of the units; elimination of multi-section chapters; integration of theory, evaluation, and intervention into single units; addition of the common conditions and practice resource sheets - NEW New personal narrative chapters introduce readers to people with disabilities. - NEW Inclusion of the terminology of the International Classification of Function and the draft versions of the 2nd edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework - Practice Dilemmas pose a practice question or problem for students to reason through and respond to. Dilemmas relate to the chapter content and current realities of practice. - Questions included guide student thinking however answers/solutions will not be included. - Case Studies: Features expert practices on a case or problem related to a client, practice situation, management issue, etc. Excellent feature to refer to throughout the text to assist problem solving strategies or questions faced in a case. - Ethical Dilemmas focus on ethical issues students might see in practice and ask open-ended questions for students to ponder. - Commentary on the Evidence sections provide succinct commentary on the current evidence to support practice. - Powerful Quotations reflect the chapter topic and come from historical or contemporary sources in occupational therapy or external to the field - Provocative Questions link to topics such as the narratives at the beginning of the book, practice, and/or current issues in health, political, and social arenas.
