Reviews of the 2nd Edition
"This
book is highly recommended not only to occupational therapy students
and educators but to occupational therapy practitioners as well. For
those employed in traditional hospital settings, the abundance of
information may certainly help them expand their thinking about the
scope of occupational therapy practice."
—Karen Butler, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy
"The
text is easily readable and contains chapter key terms and learning
objectives which help accentuate information. This text provides a
much-needed resource for occupational therapists who currently are, or
plan to in the future, practice in the community."
—Peggy Wittman, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA, Occupational Therapy in Health Care Journal
"Very
comprehensive. Reviews a variety of possible settings for community
practice and appears to cover the process from the beginning on
through."
—Anne Marie Knecht, MA, OTR/L, Florida International University, Miami, FL
