Description

Restoring the Spirit: The Beginnings of Occupational Therapy in Canada, 1890-1930 by Judith Friedland explores the origins of occupational therapy in Canada and its evolution into an integral part of modern healthcare. This book delves into the stories of pioneering women who established professional associations, workshops, and educational programs to promote the field. The author examines how these women worked with male physicians to gain access to decision-making power and developed their work in both rural and urban environments, serving diverse populations from different economic and ethnic backgrounds. By tracing the influence of popular social movements of the time, including the Mental Hygiene, Arts and Crafts, and Settlement House movements, Friedland sheds light on the rise of occupational therapy as a vital component of healthcare. This informative book provides a compelling account of the contributions of working women to the history of healthcare in Canada.
