摘要

This recently published book is the fourth edition of an authoritative text, focused on the author's occupation-based model and enhanced by contributors. Published about 6 years since the third edition, the new book updates the previous version and includes the addition of case vignettes, which help the reader to visualize the application of the key concepts of the model.The book is written by one of the original creators of the Model of Human Occupation theory and, as such, is probably the most complete and contemporary presentation of a widely used model in the field of occupational therapy. This new edition seeks to extend previous editions and deliver the most up-to-date position on the theory and related research. The text supports application to the practice of the theory by introducing it to the reader and facilitating practitioners in applying the model.
