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.

A landmark publication in occupational therapy and a significant contribution to the rehabilitation theory literature! The Kawa Model presents a new conceptual model of practice that differs from contemporary theories in regard to: origin (East Asia), underlying philosophical base (East Asia), being heavily infused with a natural-ecological, holistic world view, and relational structure. The model is based on the metaphor of nature (a river) that stands for the meanings of life. Because of the familiarity of the metaphor, to both therapists and clients alike, the Kawa Model is relatively easy to comprehend, remarkably simple, yet comprehensive and effective. Unlike other models, it was raised from clinical practice, by practitioners, through a process of qualitative research methods. It is the first conceptual model and substantial theoretical work of occupational therapy from outside of the Western world. A 'must-read' for all students of occupational therapy The first substantial work in occupational therapy from outside of the Western world Introduces an Eastern perspective on matters of theory and culture in occupational therapy Eight case studies, four from Western practice contexts and four from the East Developed by clinicians and practitioners for their peers Questions the cultural boundaries of occupational therapy, its knowledge (epistemiology), theory and practice. It puts the reader in touch with the cultural nature of self, client and profession Enables readers to develop critical analysis skills for examining matters of theory and culture, as opposed to learning theory as 'recipes'

A significant challenge in occupational therapy practice today is to ensure that services are client-centered, focused on occupation, and supported by research evidence. Individuals in Context: A Practical Guide to Client-Centered Practice, edited by Virginia G. Fearing and Jo Clark, presents an integrated approach to practice. The Occupational Performance Process Model, which is the focus of the text, is an easy-to-use seven-stage guide to client-centered, evidence-based practice. Practical applications and sample case studies assist the reader in applying this approach in everyday practice. The book addresses challenges to practice and provides a self-evaluation tool for clients and therapists to reflect on achievements and barriers to client-centered practice. It weaves theory into practice in a refreshing and understandable way. This gem of a book is a collaborative effort by clients, clinicians, academics, and administrators, who present a practical approach to client-centered practice in language that is accessible to busy therapists and students. Individuals in Context is a response to clients, therapists, and student therapists who are seeking ways to think about the occupational therapy process. It provides students and therapists at any stage in their career with an opportunity to reflect on their personal practice to ensure that it focuses on client's needs, is based on sound theory, centered on occupation, and continually evaluates the outcome of therapy intervention. Each chapter reflects the voices, values, and contexts of its authors, and this diversity has been intentionally preserved. It is a multifaceted choir supporting occupational therapy students and therapists in everyday practice.
