{"product_id":"a-political-practice-of-occupational-therapy","title":"A Political Practice of Occupational Therapy","description":"This challenging and innovative book explores the political aspects of occupational therapy. It looks at how practitioners may develop political awareness in order to aid community development. A Political Practice of Occupational Therapy is about maximizing the potential impact of occupational therapists' engagements and ensuring the profession is working towards the contruction of a civic society. It is supported by twelve chapters of practice examples from the UK, US, Georgia and Australia, as well as a history of the profession as an agency for social change.\nIt asks: How is it possible to introduce the political into a profession that is linked to health and social care? What form could political practice take, and how could the political components of practice be analyzed and evaluated?\nIt includes significant theoretical chapters on gender, class and sexuality, challenges to holism, occupational literacy, and a discussion of political competence. This book will be of particular use for students exploring community and emerging role settings, client centred practice, occupational and social justice and the theoretical base of the profession.\nFrom an editorial team that is widely recognized for their challenges to traditional thought and practice in occupational therapy, this book will be of value not just to occupational therapists but also those employed in health profession management and development, and community based rehabilitation.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0443103917\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0443103917.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pollard PhD  MA  MSc  DipCOT  FHEA, Nick|Kronenberg BSc(OT)  BA(Ed), Frank|Sakellariou PhD  MSc  BSc  FHEA, Dikaios\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
