## Description

The sixth edition of this classic book remains a key text for occupational therapists, supporting their practice in working with people with physical impairments, stimulating reflection on the knowledge, skills and attitudes which inform practice, and encouraging the development of occupation-focused practice. Within this book, the editors have addressed the call by leaders within the profession to ensure that an occupational perspective shapes the skills and strategies used within occupational therapy practice. Rather than focusing on discrete diagnostic categories the book presents a range of strategies that, with the use of professional reasoning, can be transferred across practice settings.  The new editors have radically updated the book, in response to the numerous internal and external influences on the profession, illustrating how an occupational perspective underpins occupational therapy practice. A global outlook is intrinsic to this edition of the book, as demonstrated by the large number of contributors recruited from across the world. Covers everything the student needs within the physical disorders part of their courseLinks theory of principles to practice and managementWritten and edited by a team of internationally experienced OT teachers, clinicians and managersGives key references and further reading lists for more detailed studyWritten within a framework of lifespan development in line with current teaching and practiceIncludes practice scenarios and case studiesFocuses on strategiesSubtitle reflecting the primacy of occupation in occupational therapy practiceInclusion of practice scenarios to illustrate the application of theory to practiceFeatures such as chapter summaries and key points, providing a quick overview of each chapterA focus on strategies rather than diagnostic categoriesConsideration of individuals, groups and communitiesAn international perspectiveLanguage that is person-centred and inclusiveNew editorial team endorsed by the former editors including Annie Turner
