The book begins with a comprehensive review of the current literature and the knowledge generated to date. Reasons for the field's limited impact are proposed, including its focus on individuals rather than groups and communities, its psychological view of occupation, and its narrow focus on socially approved occupations. Global realities such as poverty, anti-social behaviour, and ageing populations are discussed, and implications for action are considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second section of the book comprises a series of chapters that address the philosophical, theoretical, and scientific bases that underpin and inform everyday decision making in occupational therapy practice. This is followed by a section on methodological and structural considerations. The concluding chapter offers a critical reflection on methods, strategies, values, and relationships for the future, to achieve a relevant science that makes a difference to current occupational realities. Written by an internationally renowned team of contributors, this book offers a truly comprehensive critique of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n• Internationally renowned Editors and contributors\u003cbr\u003e \n• First comprehensive text on occupational science\u003cbr\u003e \n• Fully up to date with the latest thinking and research\u003cbr\u003e \n• Links theory to practice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463945044204,"sku":"9781444333169","price":99.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781444333169-occupational-science.jpg?v=1775037270","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/occupational-science-9781444333169","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
