From the Back Cover:

Human occupation is nothing less than the way we describe the experiences that account for our pathway through life - the activities that fill up each day. Its study leads to a greater understanding of how people view, orchestrate, draw meaning from, and improve their lives, as well as the satisfaction that they draw from life. Broad in perspective, Introduction to Occupation: The Art and Science of Living brings together an outstanding team of authors to explore both informal and formal ways for studying occupation.

Features:

• Discusses numerous ways to learn about occupation through observation.
• Details formal and informal ranges of research methods.
• Presents a framework for occupation across the lifespan.
• Highlights how identity is shaped by occupation.
• Outlines social responsibilities that result from occupations.
