Infos

This edition has been completely updated and revised to offer the most information in the most efficient way to occupational therapists. It begins with a discussion of the uses and applications of occupational therapy theory and offers ways of thinking about and organizing the theory. It includes an extensive annotated bibliography of occupational therapy theory. Significant developments in occupational therapy theory are classified and discussed in a user-friendly, organized format. One of the essential components to Theoretical Basis of Occupational Therapy, Second Edition is the taxonomy of occupational therapy theory, which organizes the mass of theory into a "filing system" that is consistent with how occupational therapists think about occupation and about humans and environment. The five theory areas covered inside are: physical deternunants of occupation; psychological-emotional deternunants of occupation; cognitive-neurological deternunants of occupation; socio-cultural deternunants of occupation; and environmental deternunants of occupation.
