Description
The Kawa Model: A New Conceptual Framework for Occupational Therapy
This book presents a groundbreaking new approach to occupational therapy, drawing on Eastern philosophical perspectives. It challenges traditional Western theories and introduces an alternative way of thinking about practice.
Developed by clinicians and practitioners, the Kawa model is based on a simple yet powerful metaphor that explores the meanings of life. With four case studies from both Western and Eastern contexts, this book offers a unique opportunity to examine cultural differences in occupational therapy theory and practice.
