Since 1980, the American Occupational Therapy Association has collected its official documents--must-have information for occupation therapy practitioners, educators, and students--into one handy, frequently updated reference work. The 16th edition continues in that long tradition. In addition to the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, 2nd Edition and the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics and Ethics Standards, this book contains many valuable and timely documents. Several that are new to this edition include "The Role of Occupational Therapy in Disaster, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery"; "Occupational Therapy Services in Facilitating Work Performance"; "Complementary and Alternative Medicine"; "The Philosophical Base of Occupational Therapy"; "Occupational Therapy Services for Individuals Who Have Experienced Domestic Violence"; "The Role of Occupational Therapy in End-of-Life Care"; and "Occupational Therapy Services in Early Childhood and School-Based Settings."
This text is a valuable resource for occupational therapy practitioners and managers and provides a solid grounding in the profession for students.
