Covers key aspects of occupational therapy, exploring theoretical perspectives for mental health care practice, ethical considerations and cultural sensitivity, advocating for occupational justice, and breaking barriers in mental health care
Introduces case studies and reflective questions at the end of each chapter to foster the integration of theory with practical application for different age groups
Reflects upon emerging trends such as human ecosystem disruptions, spirituality and mental health, the impact of trauma on individuals and collectives, and maternal mental health concerns
