Description
Theorising Occupational Therapy Practice in Diverse Settings explores how practice theory can be applied to occupational therapy in various settings. The book draws on practice theory to examine the conditions for occupational therapy practice, including its history, management of therapists, professional roles, and working contexts.
Examples from around the world are used to illustrate these perspectives, as well as a review of global social phenomena that have shaped occupational therapy, such as colonialism and social inequality. The authors also consider how occupational therapists are responding to challenges facing the profession, including issues of access, resources, and change.
The book provides practical strategies for dealing with the realities of working in different settings, while relating occupational therapy aims and objectives effectively to these contexts. With numerous case examples, it is an important new text for students and practitioners of occupational therapy.
