Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proactive Approaches in Psychosocial Occupational Therapy is an exciting text that describes the broad spectrum of current and emerging occupational therapy practice in mental health. The authors are recognized leaders in the field who have met the challenges of psychosocial occupational therapy practice to design and present programs that can be readily modeled by students and practitioners. Their practical and reality-based writings provide the reader with a solid foundation in the sociopolitical issues and health care market trends that effect current and future occupational therapy practice. Strategies for program development, management, and evaluation are presented with over 30 chapters devoted to occupational therapy intervention programs across the mental health continuum of care—from acute care to day treatment to transitional living to vocational rehabilitation to psychogeriatrics. All programs are clearly described to facilitate effective implementation. Individual, group, and population-based programming is also included. An extensive section on contemporary areas of practice includes multiple chapters on forensic psychiatry, school-based psychosocial practice, case management, wellness and prevention, home health, employee assistance programs, and programs for individuals who are homeless or victims of domestic violence. This essential content is often relegated to mere paragraphs or single chapters in other OT textbooks, but the authors of Proactive Approaches in Psychosocial Occupational Therapy have recognized the need for comprehensive and practical guidelines for expanding the occupational therapist’s role in community systems of care. The text also includes Clark’s et al’s landmark research on the role of OT with the well elderly. Sections on the personal perspective of mental illness from consumers and family members present the reader with humanistic and diverse cultural viewpoints while providing solid guidance for holistic collaboration. Fine’s inspiring Eleanor Clark Slagle lecture on resilience, which is viewed as a literary gift to the OT profession, is also included. The sociopolitical and cultural contexts of mental illness and the realities of external forces on the practice of psychosocial OT are clearly addressed. There are detailed figures, comprehensive case studies, evaluation and program protocols, tables, and marketing and promotion strategies including a comprehensive list of 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Promote OT in Mental Health. The text is organized into thematic sections with clearly written introductions, providing continuity between chapters and thought-provoking questions for class discussion, lab activities, and course assignments making it an excellent textbook for OT and OTA coursework. Proactive Approaches for Psychosocial Occupational Therapy provides an “at your fingertips” library of excellent primary resources for students, educators, and practitioners. The text concludes with a comprehensive section on professional development and the attainment, maintenance, and promotion of excellence. Practitioners will find this text to be reaffirming of their commitment to mental health while providing them with new ideas for best practice. Students will be inspired by the role models for excellence and practice opportunities presented through this dynamic text.

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the occupational therapy paradigm (its focal viewpoint, core constructs, and values) as well as the role of complexity/chaos theory as a scientific framework for occupational therapy research and practice.

An emphasis on clinical-reasoning skills, including information on different types of reasoning skills as well as the MAPP model of teaching helps the student and clinician translate theoretical principles into practice.The section on specific interventions addresses each of the conceptual practice models according to a consistent chapter template, which enables the reader to apply conceptual practice models in real-world contexts. Preview questions at the beginning of each chapter alert the reader to important concepts in the upcoming text.Critical analysis of the theoretical core provides suggested modifications to increase consistency with the new occupational therapy paradigm.

Download or read book Bruce Borg s Psychosocial Frames of Reference written by Terry Krupa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychosocial health is a fundamental element of all human health and well-being. Psychological, emotional, and social factors interact to influence peoples’ occupational lives, in turn influencing psychosocial health. Occupational therapists practicing in contemporary health and social sectors require the knowledge, attitudes and skills to identify and address these psychosocial factors. The classic and renowned, Bruce & Borg’s Psychosocial Frames of Reference: Theories, Models, and Approaches for Occupation-Based Practice, Fourth Edition by Drs. Terry Krupa, Bonnie Kirsh, and their contributors, examines psychosocial models of practice and their application across a wide range of practice areas in occupational therapy, instead of being singularly focused on practice areas of the needs of people living with identified mental illnesses. Efforts have been made to highlight the relevance of specific models to practice for people with mental illnesses, particularly where the issues experienced by this group have historically been poorly addressed. The authors have also organized models and practice approaches according to the level at which they intervene to create change – occupation, person, environment, and transdisciplinary levels. As their central domain of concern, the first group of occupational models or approaches have a focus on “what people do” in their daily lives. A second group of models reflect those that intervene at the level of the person. This group understands strengths and problems in occupation as evolving largely from features or qualities of the individual, and the therapeutic processes suggested are directed to changing or building upon these features. A third group of models and approaches focus on the psychosocial context and environment to elicit and enable a positive change in occupation. In some cases, these environmental models expand commonly-held, narrow definitions of “clinical” practice to encourage occupational therapists to engage in population-level practices. Finally, a small group of models of practice are labeled as transdisciplinary. Transdisciplinary models provide ways to develop conceptualizations of psychosocial practice issues, practice language, and approaches that are shared across disciplinary boundaries. New in the completely updated Fourth Edition: Contains models and practice approaches that are useful in enabling occupational therapists to address psychosocial concerns relevant to human occupation Explores the psychological, emotional, and social experiences of humans carried out in context and their linkages to occupational engagement and well-being Puts forward practice models that focus on person-level aspects of occupation in psychosocial practice Examines transdisciplinary models and their relationship to psychosocial occupational therapy concepts and practices Presents well established models and frameworks that focus on population and contextual level factors relevant to psychosocial occupational therapy practice Discusses occupational therapy intervention approaches flowing from these models, relevant tools and practices, and, where available, the supporting evidence-base Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom. With its updated models and a wide range of practice areas, Bruce & Borg’s Psychosocial Frames of Reference: Theories, Models, and Approaches for Occupation-Based Practice, Fourth Edition is the perfect resource for the occupational therapist student, faculty, and clinician or any practitioner in psychosocial and mental health.

Download or read book International Handbook of Occupational Therapy Interventions written by Ingrid Söderback and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resources for rehabilitation specialists tend to follow a straight line: injury—disability—limitation—intervention. The International Handbook of Occupational Therapy Interventions breaks with this tradition, organized by type of intervention (based on recommendations in the International Classification of Functioning) rather than disability, medical condition, or level of impairment. This innovative, user-friendly system identifies candidates for particular interventions in terms of the range of syndromes and illnesses they are applicable to, encouraging critical thinking, problem solving, and best practice. The book’s wide spectrum of interventions coupled with its international perspective creates a unique source of evidence-based strategies for improving patients’ adaptation, functioning, relearning, recovery, and the prevention of ill health. The Handbook: Describes interventions in such areas as environmental accessibility, ergonomics, pain management, sensory functional training, electric prostheses, music therapy, psychoeducation, and cognitive teaching. Features interventions suited to all areas of daily life: self maintenance, home, work, and leisure. Clarifies the occupational therapist’s role in multidisciplinary care. Includes material on accident/illness prevention and health promotion strategies. Supplies reference lists of studies regarding the clinical efficacy of interventions. Demonstrates the use of a common technical language for the field. Occupational and physical therapists, rehabilitation nurses and technicians, physiatrists, and health psychologists will find the International Handbook of Occupational Therapy Interventions a source of practice-enhancing tools and ideas. Its clarity of presentation makes it highly useful to readers in related fields (such as insurance case workers and ergonomic architects and engineers) as well.
