Every occupational therapy student worldwide needs to know about the underlying theory of their profession and its application to 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, all of which is brought to life via case studies incorporating expert advice, reflection exercises and assessment and evaluation forms.

Dr Gail Boniface is Senior Lecturer & Programme Manager at Cardiff University. She has been teaching theory since 1987. She developed student handouts and teaching material into short courses on models of occupational therapy. These courses included definitions of terms related to theory and were delivered across Wales and England. They were then turned into a module on the MSc in Cardiff University for qualified practitioners. She also delivered similar key note lectures and courses in Germany, Sweden, Croatia and Poland. In more recent years she has worked with Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust to instil theory and the use of a model in the occupational therapy service there.
Alison Seymour is Lecturer & Admissions Tutor at Cardiff University and currently teaches the use of models on the postgraduate diploma in occupational therapy. Over a 19 year career in occupational therapy practice in mental health she has used the Activities Therapy Model, Model of Adaptation through Occupation and The Model of Human Occupation in a variety of community and hospital settings.
“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)
