"After briefly looking over the book, it appears to be a great book for a basic OT theory course or intro course." -- Claudia Miller, MHS, OTR/L, Cincinnati State College, Cincinnati, Ohio
"This is a good (very good!) text. It will help us introduce the philosophical and theoretical notions of occupation (as process and outcome) when students enter as freshmen and then continue to reinforce these concepts throughout the time they are in the OT program." -- Jacquelyn Bolden, PhD, OTR/L, Florida A & M University,Tallahassee, Florida
