Description

This book presents a new conceptual model of practice in occupational therapy that differs from current theories.

The model is based on the metaphor of a river that stands for the meanings of life, and is the first conceptual model from outside the West.

It is easy to comprehend, simple and effective.

  • A 'must-read' for all students of occupational therapy
  • The first substantial work in occupational therapy from outside of the Western world
  • Introduces an Eastern perspective on matters of theory and culture in occupational therapy
  • Eight case studies, four from Western practice contexts and four from the East
  • Developed by clinicians and practitioners for their peers
  • Questions the cultural boundaries of occupational therapy, its knowledge (epistemiology), theory and practice.

    It puts the reader in touch with the cultural nature of self, client and profession

  • Enables readers to develop critical analysis skills for examining matters of theory and culture, as opposed to learning theory as 'recipes'
