- Looks at social and political mechanisms that influence people's access to useful and meaningful occupations

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great for OT students
Bought this for a current OT student based on the recommendation of an OT prof.. The student found it very useful for discovering the scope of applications an OT degree provides. The book offers practical examples and information on practicing OT in the US and foreign lands.
