Product Description
To respond to the renewed focus by the occupational therapy profession upon occupation, the fifth edition of Activity Analysis and Application has been updated and renamed to reflect this latest emphasis. While Activity Analysis: Application to Occupation, Fifth Edition maintains the sequential process of learning activity analysis, this step-by-step approach now helps students analyze activity for the purpose of optimizing the client's occupational performance.
Gayle Hersch, Nancy Lamport, and Margaret Coffey successfully guide students through the development of clinical reasoning skills critical to planning a client's return to meaningful engagement in valued occupations. The authors utilize a straightforward teaching approach that allows students to progress developmentally in understanding both the analysis and application of activity to client intervention.
The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, with a prominent focus on occupation as this profession's philosophical basis for practice, has been incorporated in the updated forms and explanations of the activity analysis approach.
Activity Analysis: Application to Occupation, Fifth Edition is a worthy contribution to the professional education of occupational therapists in furthering their understanding and application of activity and occupation.
Features:
- The newly titled Client-Activity Intervention Plan that synthesizes the activity analysis into client application.
- Objectives at the beginning of each unit.
- Discussion questions and examples of daily life occupations.
- A Web site including 5 forms where students and practitioners can download and print information for class assignments and clinical settings.

Reviews
"Because this book is clearly written and specifically spells out the components of an activity analysis, I believe it to be a very useful addition to the occupational therapy literature and well worth the listed price. The fact that the authors have chosen to link the language of their templates to the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework enhances its usefulness for current practice."
— Jeffrey M. Lederer, PhD, OTR/L, Spalding University Occupational Therapy in Healthcare
Reviews from previous edition:
"It is an important resource book for occupational therapy education, providing a thorough and systematic approach to activity analysis, which is a core skill for occupational therapy practice."
— Linda Mason, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal
"…the new edition reorganizes the content and presents it in a manner that is easier to follow and comprehend. The newcomer to occupational therapy can readily begin to incorporate the concepts of the use of activity and its importance in the practice of occupational therapy."
— Leonard G. Trujillo, Texas Womans University
"The framework serves as an excellent learning tool in understand the concepts, terminology, and relationships between the building blocks of occupational performance."
— Annie Turner, British Journal of Occupational Therapy
