International Handbook of Occupational Therapy Interventions

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.
