Theorising Occupational Therapy Practice in Diverse Settings (EPUB)

Theorising Occupational Therapy Practice in Diverse Settings: Understanding Everyday Life

By Jennifer Creek, Nick Pollard, and Michael Allen, this book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding occupational therapy practice in various clinical and non-traditional settings, using practice theory as a framework.

Application of Practice Theory in Occupational Therapy

Until now, the application of practice theory in occupational therapy has been limited. This book bridges this gap by exploring the conditions for occupational therapy practice in different settings, providing insights into the management of occupational therapists in health systems, professional roles, and working contexts.

Global Perspectives and Challenges

The book features examples from around the globe, offering a diverse range of perspectives on occupational therapy history, social phenomena, and emerging areas of practice. A bridging chapter reviews the development of occupational therapy and its response to global social phenomena such as colonialism and social inequality.

Meeting the Challenges of the 21st Century

The second section of the book focuses on how occupational therapists are responding to the challenges facing the profession, including issues of access, resources, and change. A final chapter provides a comprehensive review of how occupational therapy can meet the health-related occupational needs of individuals, communities, and populations throughout the 21st century.

A Valuable Resource for Students and Practitioners

This book is an essential resource for students and practitioners of occupational therapy, providing numerous case examples and pragmatic strategies for dealing with the realities of working in different settings. It is relevant for those working in mainstream health and social care services, community interest companies, charities, and social enterprises.

Published by Routledge in November 2022, this 204-page hardcover book is a valuable addition to any occupational therapy library.
