Occupational therapy's promotion of meaningful participation requires practitioners to have the expertise to conduct client-centered evaluations, design occupation-based interventions, and facilitate positive outcomes. Ways of Living: Intervention Strategies to Enable Participation guides students and practitioners in working with clients across the wide range of occupational therapy services to achieve improved outcomes for clients-outcomes increasingly required by health care reimbursement systems. Updates to the 5th edition reflect current evidence and include new chapters on using the OTPF, the occupational therapist-occupational therapy assistant relationship, family caregiving, and primary care, as well as new chapters on conditions frequently seen in practice, such as ASD, mental health in children, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Highlights include- Part I. Foundations for Occupational Therapy Practice-4 chapters explore using the OTPF, client-centered care, the role of the occupational therapy assistant, and training and intervention strategies. Part II. Working With Children-3 pediatrics-focused chapters guide intervention strategies for autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, and promoting mental health. Part III. Working With Adults-13 chapters discuss working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, psychiatric disabilities or mental illness, rheumatic diseases, spinal cord injury, stroke, upper-limb loss, burns, Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, low vision, and cancer, as well as addressing sexuality and spirituality. Part IV. Occupational Service Delivery-5 chapter describe occupational therapy's role in driving and community mobility, assistive technology, environmental adaptations, family caregiving, and primary care. Learning objectives, key terms and concepts, case examples, and review questions facilitate student learning. Practical and solidly occupation-centered, Ways of Living prepares students and practitioners to demonstrate occupational therapy's distinct value in enabling participation.

Understood differently by different people, creativity has been linked to novelty, originality, problem-solving, flexibility, resourcefulness, self-expression, and health maintenance. In this manuscript, creativity is explored through the eyes of an occupational therapist. The author approaches creativity from two angles; as a therapeutic modality and as a way of thinking. The manuscript offers a thorough literature review of creativity and its connections to occupational therapy theory and practice. It brings a historical overview spanning from the days of the Arts and Crafts Movement to contemporary approaches in occupational therapy. Not only is the relevant research gathered and evaluated, but the reader can also find practical applications of research findings to practice. For instance, we learn about the factors that can contribute to the creativity of occupational therapists and how to best foster them in a modern work environment. The author also explores some of the concepts related to the well-being of occupational therapists, such as work satisfaction and work autonomy and their correlations to creativity. The manuscript also presents a novel assessment tool, developed and validated by the author - the Creativity in Occupational Therapy Questionnaire (COTQ) - which is intended for the study of creativity and educational purposes. This manuscript is a must-read for anyone interested in the use of creativity in health care and the evidence behind it. It offers up-to-date information on the subject of creativity in occupational therapy. However, its influence goes beyond a specific discipline. It argues that creativity can be a healing force, for both the client and the therapist, and that we should do more to nurture it in our lives and at work.
