Psychosocial health is a fundamental element of all human health
and well-being. Psychological, emotional, and social factors
interact to influence peoples' occupational lives, in turn
influencing psychosocial health. Occupational therapists practicing
in contemporary health and social sectors require the knowledge,
attitudes and skills to identify and address these psychosocial
factors. The classic and renowned, Bruce & Borg's Psychosocial
Frames of Reference: Theories, Models, and Approaches for
Occupation-Based Practice, Fourth Edition by Drs. Terry Krupa,
Bonnie Kirsh, and their contributors, examines psychosocial models
of practice and their application across a wide range of practice
areas in occupational therapy, instead of being singularly focused
on practice areas of the needs of people living with identified
mental illnesses. Efforts have been made to highlight the relevance
of specific models to practice for people with mental illnesses,
particularly where the issues experienced by this group have
historically been poorly addressed. The authors have also organized
models and practice approaches according to the level at which they
intervene to create change - occupation, person, environment, and
transdisciplinary levels. As their central domain of concern, the
first group of occupational models or approaches have a focus on
"what people do" in their daily lives. A second group of models
reflect those that intervene at the level of the person. This group
understands strengths and problems in occupation as evolving
largely from features or qualities of the individual, and the
therapeutic processes suggested are directed to changing or
building upon these features. A third group of models and
approaches focus on the psychosocial context and environment to
elicit and enable a positive change in occupation. In some cases,
these environmental models expand commonly-held, narrow definitions
of "clinical" practice to encourage occupational therapists to
engage in population-level practices. Finally, a small group of
models of practice are labeled as transdisciplinary.
Transdisciplinary models provide ways to develop conceptualizations
of psychosocial practice issues, practice language, and approaches
that are shared across disciplinary boundaries. New in the
completely updated Fourth Edition: Contains models and practice
approaches that are useful in enabling occupational therapists to
address psychosocial concerns relevant to human occupation Explores
the psychological, emotional, and social experiences of humans
carried out in context and their linkages to occupational
engagement and well-being Puts forward practice models that focus
on person-level aspects of occupation in psychosocial practice
Examines transdisciplinary models and their relationship to
psychosocial occupational therapy concepts and practices Presents
well established models and frameworks that focus on population and
contextual level factors relevant to psychosocial occupational
therapy practice Discusses occupational therapy intervention
approaches flowing from these models, relevant tools and practices,
and, where available, the supporting evidence-base Instructors in
