The first text to address the evolving new area of preventive occupational therapy as a primary health promotion tool. Teaches occupational therapy students about health promotion and prevention theory and practice from a wellness rather than an illness perspective. Using cutting edge examples, the authors explore how to incorporate this new paradigm into clinical practice, and how to develop wellness interventions across the lifespan. Meets the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Educations (ACOTE) standards requiring educational programs to transition to Masters degree level. Features extensive pedagogy.
