Practice theory provides a way of understanding everyday life, but
until now its application in occupational therapy has not been much
developed. Theorising Occupational Therapy Practice in Diverse
Settings draws on practice theory to explore the conditions for
occupational therapy practice in a variety of clinical and
non-traditional settings. With examples from around the globe, the
chapters of the first section unfold practice theory perspectives
of occupational therapy history, the management of occupational
therapists in health systems, professional roles and working
contexts. A bridging chapter reviews this development and sets out
some of the global social phenomena that shaped occupational
therapy; including colonialism and social inequality. The authors
look forward to where the profession finds itself at present, in
terms of social and health needs, power structures, occupational
therapy theory and emerging areas of practice. The second section
of the book considers how occupational therapists are responding to
the challenges facing the profession in relation to issues of
access, resources and change. A final chapter reviews how
occupational therapy can meet the health-related occupational needs
of individuals, communities and populations throughout the 21st
century. While acknowledging the complexity of occupational, health
and social needs, the book enables readers to relate occupational
therapy aims and objectives effectively to pragmatic strategies for
dealing with the realities of working in different settings. With
numerous case examples, this is an important new text for students
and practitioners of occupational therapy. It is relevant both for
those working in, or preparing for, placements in mainstream health
and social care services, or in community interest companies,
charities and social enterprises.
