Conditions in Occupational Therapy, Third Edition focuses on chronic health problems and their impact on an individual's physical, cognitive, psychological, and social capabilities.

Chapters present the etiology, symptoms, prognosis, and progression of conditions frequently encountered in practice. Case studies at the end of every chapter help students apply the content to real-life clinical situations.
