Rheumatology Practice in Occupational Therapy: Promoting
Lifestyle Management is a valuable new
handbook focusing on rheumatology, a core area of occupational
therapy practice. It provides practical guidance to help
occupational therapists treat and manage rheumatic conditions in
both clinical and community settings and emphasises a contemporary
'client-centred' approach as a fundamental requirement
of effective and rewarding occupational therapy practice.
Drawing upon personal, clinical and theoretical perspectives,
Rheumatology Practice in Occupational Therapy equips the reader
with an understanding of the relevant practical skills and of the
clinical reasoning required to modify and apply these skills to the
needs of individual people. Written by experts from occupational
therapy, sociology and psychology, this book addresses the need to
adapt occupational therapy interventions to each client's own
experience of living with a rheumatic condition and develops the
reader's understanding of key theoretical and clinical
approaches to person-centred management.
Rheumatology Practice in Occupational Therapy is essential
reading for all occupational therapists helping people with
rheumatic conditions in hospital and community settings, and for
students preparing for practice. It will also be of interest to
other healthcare professionals working with people with these
conditions.
