About this title

Synopsis

This New Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the role and work of the occupational therapist with regard to physical illness or disability (as opposed to disorders of mental health). The aim of the text is to link OT theory with day-to-day practice. The book is designed to meet the needs of today's students but it is also recognised that many qualified OTs use the book for reference and the book has been designed and structured to make it easy to use by those who want to dip into it for quick reference as well as by the student.
