Customer Reviews

great price of book

Although we never used it in class it has helped me with my research papers, and case studies. IT was in excellent condition

Ben and Diane's former student

I'm happy to see this book here. I am a former student of the authors and I'd say they know their stuff. They are well-connected and do their research to provide quality information to their students, as well as to their readers. The previous edition was a great resource, and I am sure this one is as well.

From a Student Perspective

I am taking my Adult Physical Dysfunction class right now and almost every diagnosis in the book is one that we are studying. The case studies throughout the book are very helpful and BEST of all, the book gives an Occupational Performance Profile to let me (as a beginning OT) know which performance areas and components are being affected for each specific patient. It is a wonderful book.

Excellent easy to read style, good student reference book

This is an an easy to read but very informative book, excellent for students. The end of chapter glossary and list of commonly used drugs is invaluable. This book provides the need to know stuff about OT.
