Great

Everything was great about this I got it in a timely manner and the book was in the stated condition. However, due to professor's error I had to mail it back, because he wanted us to have the new edition. So, I returned the book, but only because I needed the newest edition of the book, not because of the book itself.

needed it for class

I don't really know what to say about this book - it arrived as described - shipping took a bit longer than I thought it would but I got it all the same. It is a required book for one of my Grad classes.

The new 2004 edition

This book is a must have for new OTs trying to understand theory and OT. Simple, clear, learned lots about different models- from SI to biomechanical to MOHO....The new 2004 edition is even better, because it has extra chapters on important issues in our field and pictures make it less tedious to read.
