Philosophy and Occupational Therapy

SLACK is pleased to announce the release of our newest title in occupational therapy, Philosophy and Occupational Therapy: Informing Education, Research, and Practice. Dr. Steven D. Taff, PhD, OTR/L, FNAP, FAOTA and a multitude of chapter authors demonstrate that the vital points of human existence are found in philosophy as well as science, and that occupational therapy should incorporate a clearly articulated philosophical perspective into its evidence-based and measurement-driven paradigm.

Philosophy and Occupational Therapy: Informing Education, Research, and Practice is a unique and essential book for occupational therapy educators, researchers, and clinicians that will enrich the teaching-learning process, ground research with depth and clarity, and spark discussion among professionals about reviving the use of philosophy in current occupational therapy practice.

Each chapter offers a basic description of a philosophy, outlines major thinkers and concepts and ultimately summarizes the implications for occupational therapy education, research and practice.

Philosophy and Occupational Therapy: Informing Education, Research, and Practice is available now for purchase in print and eBook. For more information, please visit: https://www.slackbooks.com/philosophy-and-occupat...
