Trade Review
Discovery Through Activity builds upon its well-received predecessor and is the product of extensive investigation and collaboration. Its success, at least in part, lies in the fact that it draws on the ideas and experiences of a wide range of occupational therapists and healthcare workers, to further demonstrate what can be achieved in practice.
The important and essential, contents of this handbook, and their impeccable delivery, render it to be of immense worth to those who are involved (or are prospectively involved) in the provision and management (and receipt) of occupational therapy. It will also be of great value to other therapists and indeed, their service users. Accordingly, its wide readership is very strongly urged.
