Occupational Therapy and Vocational Rehabilitation
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Jan 2008, Pages: 278
This book introduces the occupational therapist to the practice of vocational rehabilitation. As rehabilitation specialists, Occupational Therapists work in a range of diverse settings with clients who have a variety of physical, emotional and psychological conditions. Research has proven that there are many positive benefits from working to health and well-being. This book highlights the contribution, which can be made by occupational therapists in assisting disabled, ill or injured workers to access, remain in and return to work.
The book will consist of seven sections, beginning by introducing the reader to the subject. A brief historical perspective will be provided and the text will then give an overview of relevant theoretical perspectives on work and rehabilitation. The continuum of vocational rehabilitation, from prevocational through to open labour market employment, will be explained. The fourth section will describe the occupational therapy process in vocational rehabilitation, moving on to describing vocational rehabilitation with clients with different illnesses and disabilities. The final sections will deal with the context of practice and future research in this area.
