Directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States, Client-Centered Practice in Occupational Therapy continues to be the only book that provides the reader with both the theoretical underpinnings of client-centred practice as well as guidance on the practical application of this approach. For this second edition, all chapters have been updated and new concepts incorporated, and a new chapter on paediatrics has been added.
