About this title

Synopsis

This revised compilation of the most influential literary works in occupational therapy presents the richness of the profession's heritage while addressing current realities and future directions for practice. A comprehensive anthology of recognized classics and landmark recent works, this book provides essential knowledge about theory and practice. From Adolf Meyer's 1922 Philosophy to 12 Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lectures to seminal international writings, this text provides an "at-your-fingertips" library of the "best of the best" in the occupational therapy literature. Thought-provoking introductions with study questions challenge readers to analyze their perceptions about person-directed, occupation-based practice. Nine appendices include the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, the Scope of Practice, AOTA core values and position papers, and more.
