Now in its fifth edition, the internationally acclaimed Foundations for Practice in Occupational Therapy continues to provide a practical reference tool which is both an indispensable guide to undergraduates and a practical reference tool for clinicians in the application of models and theories to practice. Underlining the importance and clinical relevance of theory to practice, the text provides an excellent introduction to the theoretical basis of occupational therapy. Contributions are given by both academics and expert clinicians.

A easy text to provide those new to the profession a base of practice theory and practice explanation. Similarities to R Hagedorns 'Tools for practice in Occupational Therapy' can be drawn. Clear and concise explanations and relation of the various chapters. Excellent for students and professionals alike.
