An ideal reference, Willard and Spackman's Occupational Therapy provides the most comprehensive and current presentation of occupational therapy concepts and practice.

This text is organized around the student-oriented questions: "What will I do?", "Who will I treat?", and "Where will I practice?".

New to the Tenth Edition are chapters on spirituality, neuromuscular intervention techniques, the environment as a component of self, research and practice, facility-based practice, and more.

Features include:

• integration of the new AOTA Practice Framework with the International Classification of Function
• continuation of Mary Feldhaus-Weber's powerful narrative of her life after a head injury with a six-page full-color insert of her art added
• practical examples/dilemmas
• current trends toward community-based practice in a variety of settings and consultation

Pedagogical features include unit introductions and learning objectives, chapter outlines, summaries, and ethics boxes.
