Significant developments in occupational therapy theory over the past 25 years are classified and discussed in a user-friendly, organized format. One of the essential components to Theoretical Basis of Occupational Therapy, Second Edition is the taxonomy of occupational therapy theory, which organizes the mass of theory into a "filing system" that is consistent with how occupational therapists think about occupation and about humans and environment.

Occupational therapists are expected to maintain their knowledge of best practice by independently keeping up to date on the latest research. With Interventions, Effects, and Outcomes in Occupational Therapy: Adults and Older Adults, Drs. Mary Law and Mary Ann McColl have assembled the evidence for effectiveness of occupational therapy for adults and older adults.
Interventions, Effects, and Outcomes in Occupational Therapy brings together the latest published peer-reviewed literature, conceptual approaches, outcome measures, and intervention approaches to address the three main areas by:
• Identifying a finite set of interventions which occupational therapists deliver most often, and providing details of those intervention approaches • Identifying where the research evidence shows that occupational therapists can achieve specific positive effects as a result of those interventions • Identifying the outcome measures most commonly and reliably used by researchers in occupational therapy to demonstrate the effects of interventions
Drs. Mary Law and Mary Ann McColl have comprehensively reviewed all of the intervention effectiveness literature for occupational therapy provided for adults. The material reviewed crosses all diagnostic categories and areas of practice for adults and older adults. Analysis of over 500 research studies and systematic reviews form the basis for this book.
Who will benefit from the text: • Occupational therapy students will learn about the most effective occupational therapy interventions for adults and older adults, and how to measure outcomes after these interventions. • Clinicians will be able to identify the practices for which most evidence exists of effectiveness. • Researchers will be provided with a synthesis of current methods, approaches, measures and results of intervention studies in occupational therapy. • Decision makers will be able to assess the effectiveness of occupational therapy programs and make strategic investments in occupational therapy to achieve the greatest benefit for their clients. • Occupational therapy managers, institutional administrators, and government funders will find information to support investments in the most effective occupational therapy practices to ensure the maximum occupational performance, health, and well-being for their constituents.
Interventions, Effects, and Outcomes in Occupational Therapy brings together and evaluates the research and evidence on the effectiveness of occupational therapy. The text will also provide a summary of the strengths and weakness of previous research on the topic, as well as a guide to the most common and appropriate outcome measures in the area.
Never before has there been a text that so clearly assembles the evidence for the effectiveness of occupational therapy.

Theoretical Basis of Occupational Therapy, Third Edition shows the results of an exhaustive review of international peer-reviewed literature in occupational therapy and provides a synthesis of current theoretical developments in occupational therapy and occupational science. This helps occupational therapy students, researchers, and clinicians understand how to think about occupation, the many factors that affect occupation, and how to use occupation therapeutically to promote health and well-being. Unlike earlier editions, this updated Third Edition debuts during a time when even casual searchers can readily find huge amounts of information on the internet with the click of a search button. To remain relevant, this Third Edition goes beyond simply providing an annotated bibliography of peer-reviewed literature by also giving readers an analysis and synthesis of these documents in a clear and compelling organizational structure. Led by Mary Ann McColl, Mary Law, and Debra Stewart, Theoretical Basis of Occupational Therapy, Third Edition also offers an appendix that catalogs the literature included. In each of the determinants of occupation chapters, the contributors have extracted key themes, followed threads of theoretical development, reflected on external influences of occupational therapy theory, and commented particularly on developments over the last 15 years. New Features of the Third Edition: <ul>
<li>An updated database of articles</li>
<li>A look at both determinants and consequences of occupation</li>
<li>Further development of the three metaphors (the filing cabinet, toolbox, and telescope) that help organize and retrieve occupational therapy theory</li>
<li>New contributing authors to supplement content</li>
<li>New sections about the major named occupational therapy models</li>
</ul>
 Theoretical Basis of Occupational Therapy, Third Edition offers a classification system for theory, a digest of new developments in each area of the classification system, and a commentary on theoretical developments across theory areas that advance the knowledge and expertise of the profession as a whole.
