About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive resource provides occupational therapy practitioners and students with case studies to help promote ethical reflection and practice in their increasingly complex and varied professional roles. The authors present models and approaches for resolving ethical dilemmas and provide realistic case studies and vignettes to assist readers in identifying solutions that range from taking no action or addressing the situation at the local level to involving organizations and agencies to promote ethical practice and protect the public and the profession. The goal is to help practitioners and students strive toward the principles articulated in the Code and to expand the dialogue around ethical practice.
