Main description:

Since 1980, the American Occupational Therapy Association has collected its official documents-essential information for occupational therapy students and practitioners-into one handy, frequently updated reference work. The 22nd edition continues that tradition and includes concept papers, guidelines, position papers, roles papers, specialized knowledge and skills papers, standards, and statements.

In addition to the Code of Ethics core documents and the 3rd edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, this volume contains many valuable and timely documents. Several that are new to this edition include:

Academic Terminal Degree
AOTA's Societal Statement on Disaster Response and Risk Reduction
Guidelines for Occupational Therapy Services in Early Intervention and Schools
Mental Health Promotion, Prevention, and Intervention in Occupational Therapy Practice
Occupational Therapy and Complementary Health Approaches and Integrative Health

Occupational Therapy's Role in Medication Management
Philosophical Base of Occupational Therapy
The Practice of Occupational Therapy in Feeding, Eating, and Swallowing
Role of Occupational Therapy in End-of-Life Care

This text is a valuable resource for occupational therapy students, practitioners, managers, and administrators and provides a solid grounding in the profession for students.
