The Scholarship of Practice: Academic-Practice Collaborations for Promoting Occupational Therapy

By Patricia Crist and Gary Kielhofner

Book Overview

Occupational therapy (OT) practitioners often lack the fundamental skills to conduct or effectively use research, illustrating a disturbing gap between the advancement of theoretical concepts and the extent to which concepts are actually applied. The Scholarship of Practice: Academic-Practice Collaborations for Promoting Occupational Therapy closes this gap by presenting a conceptual framework that integrates theory and research with clinical practice. Leaders in the field provide insightful, thought-provoking ideas and strategies to promote research and facilitate effective new concepts and theories to hands-on practitioners. This cutting-edge compilation is extensively referenced and filled with useful diagrams and tables.
