Occupational therapy and life course development: a work book for professional practice

Life course theory is a way of looking at human development through the life course as a multifaceted lifelong process that is culturally and historically embedded. There are several key theories and several different ways the subject can be approached. This book relates the various aspects of life course theory to occupational therapy practice, emphasizing the life course as an organizing framework. Each section demonstrates a theory, shows how it can be appliedto practice, and gives the reader an opportunity to experiment with the theory in the light of their own occupational therapy practice. In each section activities related to OT practice are also included, followed by discussion questions, a summary of key points, and case studies.
