Willard and Spackman's Occupational Therapy provides the most current, comprehensive presentation of occupational therapy concepts and practice. Following the clear guidance and expertly crafted exercises, readers will learn how to apply a client-centered, occupational and evidence-based approach across the full gamut of practice settings.
Completely updated and revised, this Eleventh edition reflects a greater emphasis on evidence and the growing focus on occupation as the basis for practice.
Additionally, this edition has greatly expanded its first-person narratives, offering unique insights into the experience of living with disease or disability. A new unit, Occupation and Health in Society, addresses social and health policy, health promotion, community integration, and occupational justice.
