New and seasoned practitioners can hone their clinicalreasoning skills as they gain expertise in their current practice setting or prepare to transition to a new one. Each case study includes a detailed medical and social history that reflects clients’ occupational identities; initial evaluation findings that draw on culturally centered occupational profiles and occupation-centered evaluation of cognitive, mental, and physical function; and thought-provoking questions that address aspects of community reintegration, social determinants of health, and disparities.

Download or read book Occupational Therapy written by Virginia Anne Metaxas Quiroga and published by Amer Occupational Therapy Assn. This book was released on 1995 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the occupational therapy profession emerged in the 1910s, it has had to explain itself to the world of medicine and to the public. The word therapy seems to have been understood easily; the word occupation has been more troublesome. In the early part of the 20th century, with its new focus on science and medicine, many interpreted it to mean vocational. But to the early occupational therapists it meant more than that. They took a holistic approach to health care, believing that, to achieve good health, a patient had to engage the body, mind, and spirit in the process of healing. For occupational therapists, today's world parallels that of a century ago. By studying the legacy of experience left by the profession's founders and immediate successors, readers can learn about their creativeness under dire conditions, which produced concepts and ideas that can enlighten us today. This book offers substantial knowledge and inspiration that enhances our competence, understanding, and courage.

Download or read book Occupational Therapy Practice Framework Domain and Process written by Aota and published by AOTA Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As occupational therapy celebrates its centennial in 2017, attention returns to the profession's founding belief in the value of therapeutic occupations as a way to remediate illness and maintain health. The founders emphasized the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the knowledge about a client's context and environment, values, goals, and needs. Using today's lexicon, the profession's founders proposed a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client centered, and evidence based--the vision articulated in the third edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process. The Framework is a must-have official document from the American Occupational Therapy Association. Intended for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this new edition includes the following highlights: a redefinition of the overarching statement describing occupational therapy's domain; a new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and populations; further delineation of the profession's relationship to organizations; inclusion of activity demands as part of the process; and even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today's occupational therapy practitioners. Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that practitioners can use to meet this important goal.
