A Practitioner's Guide to Clinical Occupational Therapy

In this text, the authors identify the theories and frames of reference that guide their decision-making. This second edition: * encourages efficiency in gathering and analyzing data for developing interventions that are grounded in theory * aids in developing client-centered, activity-based treatment programs * contains information on an array of diagnostic categories frequently seen by occupational therapists * addresses clinical issues in the context of family, life span, practice setting, and socio-political perspectives * includes current and emerging practice areas and trends such as low vision and posttraumatic stress.
