Abstract: The purpose of this text is to present a 'generic' or 'holistic' approach to occupational therapy, referring to the structure and functions of the profession and the way in which these parts stand in relationship to one another. This book is a statement about what is fundamental to occupational therapy and it provides a groundwork for understanding evaluation and intervention. Additionally, it illustrates the occupational therapy domain of concern in its totality, without regard to areas of specialization, in an effort to illustrate the essence of occupational therapy as an integrated entity in order to help clarify how the occupational therapist, as a team member, contributes to enhancing the function of each individual client. -- from Preface.
