The Texture of Life: Occupations and Related Activities

Aligned with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, this text updates ideas that are foundational to the occupational therapy profession and that support clinical reasoning and practice. Chapters reflect a major change in the profession, as occupational therapy practitioners have begun endorsing the term occupation and using the terms activities and purposeful activities less frequently.

Throughout the work, case examples and exercises challenge students and experienced practitioners alike to think through the clinical reasoning process as they are guided through examples of occupation-based interventions, helping them transfer new knowledge into actual practice.
