Der Alltag in der Physio- und Ergotherapie ist voller Verhandlungen: Wer kann wann Urlaub nehmen im Team? Wie kann ein hoeheres Gehalt oder die Teilnahmen an einer wichtige Fortbildung ausgehandelt werden? Welche therapeutischen Massnahmen erwartet der Patient oder der Klient und was kann der Therapeut leisten? Wie koennen Praxisinhaber und Mitarbeiter eine win-win-Situation fur beide Verhandlungspartner erreichen? In therapeutischen Berufen gibt es viele Themen, die geschickt verhandelt werden mussen. Doch gerade Mitarbeitern im Gesundheitswesen fallt es oft schwer, ihre Positionen gut zu verhandeln, besonders wenn an ihr soziales Gewissen appelliert wird. Wie erfolgreich verhandelt werden kann, welche Strategien beachtet werden sollten und welchen Nutzen eine gute Verhandlungsfuhrung auch fur die kommunikativen Kompetenzen haben kann, zeigt die Autorin, Renate Tewes, anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen, Modellen und Techniken aus ihrer Erfahrung als Coach fur Fuhrungskrafte. .

Anhand eines Fallbeispiels soll in diesem Buch aufgezeigt werden, wann und in welcher Reihenfolge verschiedene Modelle im Prozess der therapeutischen Diagnosestellung eingesetzt werden koennen.

Cancer and its treatment create challenges, disruptions, and obstacles to full participation in life roles and everyday activities. The growing population of cancer survivors across the lifespan presents an immediate challenge and opportunity for occupational therapy practitioners to provide occupation-focused, evidence-based interventions that support participation. As availability of rehabilitation services for cancer increases, occupational therapy practitioners must be prepared to meet the needs of this population. Cancer and Occupational Therapy equips clinicians to meet clients’ needs across the cancer care continuum, from diagnosis to treatment to survivorship or end of life. Highlights include: Part I. Understanding Cancer and Cancer Rehabilitation—cancer demographics and trends, cancer treatment approaches, applying the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework with cancer survivors. Part II. Impact of Common Forms of Cancer Across the Lifespan—special considerations for children, adolescents and young adults, adults, older adults with cancer. Part III. Cancer Care Continuum and Cancer Rehabilitation—primary and secondary prevention, acute and medically complex settings, prehabilitation, acute inpatient rehabilitation, survivorship, palliative care and hospice, home health and the community. Part IV. Sequelae of Cancer and Interventions Across the Lifespan—cancer-related fatigue, pain, and cognitive impairment; lymphedema; chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Part V. Cancer and Participation in Occupation Across the Lifespan—psychosocial issues, ADLs and IADLs, rest and sleep, play and leisure, education, work, social participation, caregiving. Aligned with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, this important new text includes case examples, key terms and concepts, and practical guidance to help survivors fully participate in valued occupations at all points in the cancer experience.

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.

This book presents an integrated and coordinated framework for assessing developmental, psychological, and behavioral disorders in early childhood. Expert contributors advocate for natural-environment methods in addition to standardized measures in assessing academic and social skills as well as age-specific behavior problems in young children. Chapters model collaborations between clinicians, family, and daycare and school personnel, address diagnostic and classification issues, and conceptualize assessment as flexible, ongoing, and, as necessary, leading to coordinated services. The book gives practitioners and researchers critical tools toward establishing best practices in an increasingly complex and important area, leading to better prevention and intervention outcomes. Included in the coverage: Standardized assessment of cognitive development. Authentic and performance-based assessment. The use of Response to Interve ntion (RTI) in early childhood.Collaboration in school and child care settings. Anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, and depression in young children. Sleeping, feeding/eating, and attachment problems in early childhood. Early Childhood Assessment in School and Clinical Child Psychology is an essential resource for clinicians and related professionals, researchers, and graduate students in child and school psychology; assessment, testing, and evaluation; occupational therapy; family studies, educational psychology; and speech pathology.
