Description
Essential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy is an accessible introduction to vital concepts in occupational science. This guide invites therapists to view and understand their clients differently, using an "occupational lens" to focus on the lives of their clients as everyday doers.
The book explores key questions at the heart of understanding humans as occupational beings, such as what people typically do, where, when, how, why, and with whom. By examining these concepts, therapists can better understand their clients and enable them to see the importance of occupation to their well-being.
Additional chapters describe how therapists can apply occupation-based models to make evaluation and intervention more relevant and beneficial to their clients. The book also examines trends and lifestyle changes in the 21st century to anticipate future practice, using engaging cases to illustrate many of the concepts.
