{"product_id":"using-occupational-therapy-theory-in-practice-isbn-9781444333176","title":"Using Occupational Therapy Theory in Practice","description":"Competence in any profession depends upon an understanding of the theory that underlies it. This concise and practical text for students and practitioners bridges the gap between occupational therapy theory and clinical practice, offering highly practical advice on using theory in practice in a wide range of settings. It considers the nature of professional practice and the need for a sound theoretical basis from which to plan, implement and justify interventions, and investigates the practical use of occupational therapy theory and the issues such use raises in health and social care settings from a European perspective.  \u003cp\u003e Every occupational therapy student worldwide needs to know about the underlying theory of their profession and its application to practice. The book particularly debates the nature of the theory of occupational therapy via the introduction of the concept of models of the profession as an umbrella for practice, all of which is brought to life via case studies incorporating expert advice, reflection exercises and assessment and evaluation forms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributor biographies v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGail Boniface and Alison Seymour\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1: Theory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Reconfiguring professional thinking and conduct: a challenge for occupational therapists in practice 9\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDella Fish and Gail Boniface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Defining occupational therapy theory 21\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGail Boniface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 FromStrands to The Invisibles: from a technical to a moral mode of reflective practice 38\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDella Fish\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The use of self in occupational therapy 49\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAlison Seymour\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 2: The Use of Theory in Practice: Some Practitioner Narratives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Developing the use of the Model of Human Occupation in a mental health service 63\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLinda Keelan and Lisa John\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Using Reed and Sanderson’s Model of Adaptation through Occupation: a journey 76\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eKaren Lewis and Sharon James\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Using the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance to reconfigure an integrated occupational therapy service 91\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSiˆan Waygood, Margot Mason, Heather Hurst, Tamsin Fedden and Caroline Phelps\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Dealing with the barriers to change whilst implementing the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance 106\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJane Walker and Gillian Thistlewood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Developing occupational therapy theory in Poland 120\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnia Pietrzak and Magdalena Loska\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Using occupational therapy theory in Croatia 128\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAndreja Bartolac\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Personal reflections on understanding and using the Model of Human Occupation in practice 141\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSarah Cook\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 3: Contemporary Discussions on the Use of Theory in Occupational Therapy Practice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Using occupational therapy theory within evidence-based practice 155\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCarly Reagon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Occupational science and occupational therapy: a contemporary relationship 165\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJill Riley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Myths around using theory in occupational therapy practice 180\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAlison Seymour, Gail Boniface and Louise Ingham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 189 \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e“Regardless of where you are on your career trajectory; whether you need a gentle introduction to theory as a student or a refresher course on models or occupational science as an experienced practitioner, this book will have something for you.

These courses included definitions of terms related to theory and were delivered across Wales and England. They were then turned into a module on the MSc in Cardiff University for qualified practitioners. She also delivered similar key note lectures and courses in Germany, Sweden, Croatia and Poland.
