Editorial Review:
This engaging, user-friendly text ushers OT practitioners and students into the creative world of designing and implementing occupation-based interventions for people with disabilities. The book covers the three primary proficiencies for OTs: understanding occupation in context, developing design skills, and applying occupation in practice. This innovative book focuses on the interactive process of designing interventions, building a bridge between occupational science, and its application in occupational therapy. KEY FEATURES Focuses on the core concept of occupational therapy -- occupation Reviews the difference between occupation and activity, especially during intervention Fully explores the productive, pleasurable, and restorative dimensions of occupational experience Makes explicit the spatial, temporal, and sociocultural contexts of occupation Defines the seven phases of the design process: motivation, investigation, definition, ideation, idea selection, implementation, and evaluation Interactive approach allows readers to use their own personal occupational experience as a basis for understanding the use of occupation as a therapy "Power Builder" exercises strengthen students' abilities to create powerful interventions Discusses how to design appealing and effective interventions by assessing the degree of pleasure, productivity, and restoration offered by the intervention Examines how to design intact interventions -- the concept of working in the natural settings of clients -- by understanding the temporal, spatial, and sociocultural context of the occupational experience Analyzes the provision of highly accurate interventions through the therapist's skills of design, setting goals that are collaborative and client-centered, and using an evidence-base for precise services The summary chapter, You Are What You Do, challenges readers to think about what kind of occupational therapist they want to be.
