Domestic abuse has reached epidemic proportions in the United
States. Are you prepared to work with the people whose lives it has
changed?Domestic Abuse Across the Lifespan: The Role of
Occupational Therapy reframes the problem of domestic violence,
taking it out of the home and into the practice of occupational
therapy. It identifies the effects of all types of domestic abuse
(spousal, child, elder, etc.) as well as frameworks to address
dysfunction that has occurred secondary to the abuse. This book
shows that the effects of domestic abuse are indeed in the realm of
occupational therapy practice, and that just as occupational
therapists would consider other environmental concerns (i.e.
kitchen and bathroom safety), they must also consider abuse and its
effects.Domestic Abuse Across the Lifespan: The Role of
Occupational Therapy provides you with: definitions and
illustrative examples of each type of domestic violence risk
factors for becoming a victim or an abuser an examination of the
occupational therapist's role with victims of abuse reasons why
women may decide to refuse intervention a discussion of the
connection between victim advocacy and occupational therapy a case
study detailing the clinical findings and treatment of a
six-month-old infant with shaken baby syndrome who received
in-patient occupational therapy a case study of a child witness of
domestic abuse and the use of the Occupational Therapy Psychosocial
Assessment of Learning (OT PAL) in measuring the psychosocial
aspects of his performance in a nontraditional classroom setting a
checklist for occupational therapists who encounter elder abuse and
a case study that illustrates its use . . . and much more!The
number of people whose lives are scarred by domestic abuse is vast
and growing every day. Occupational therapists working in many
different settings will encounter children, adults, elders, and
individuals with disabilities who have experienced intimate
violence and abuse. Domestic Abuse Across the Lifespan: The Role of
Occupational Therapy is the tool to help you help them.
