[Digitized by the Internet Archive. PDF image scan without OCR layer]Explore OT from multiple perspectives…from theory to practice.A who’s who of theorists, educators, and practitioners explores the concept of “occupation” and its role as the foundation for occupational therapy practice today. Each contributor explains the conceptual models, frameworks, paradigms, or theoretically-based guidelines that they have developed over many years of practice, experience, and research. Case studies at the end of each chapter illustrate how theory translates into real-world practice in the field.Chapter content spans OT's conceptual models, frameworks, and paradigms, as well as the theoretically-based guidelines that are the foundation for practice. The contributors are the theorists, educators, and practitioners who developed the perspectives presented, and who incorporate their most recent work in their areas of specialization. Introductions to the contributor(s) open each chapter to enable readers to see them as real people actively working in the field. Case studies at the end of each chapter enhance understanding of often abstract theoretical concepts and demonstrate how they apply to real-world practice.
