great price of book:
Although we never used it in class it has helped me with my research papers, and case studies. IT was in excellent condition
Ben and Diane's former student:
I'm happy to see this book here. I am a former student of the authors and I'd say they know their stuff. They are well-connected and do their research to provide quality information to their students, as well as to their readers. The previous edition was a great resource, and I am sure this one is as well.
Fine:
Hi, I ordered this book for a class. I got it quick and it was in brand new condition as promised. Thanks Amazon!
Conditions in Occupational Therapy:
I had this book in a Conditions Impacting Occupation course. The book does provide the very basic criteria concerning a select few conditions, however I would not suggest it as a primary source for information regarding health conditions. It contains several grammatical errors, and each chapter is set up entirely different from the others. Many chapters are unorganized and difficult to follow, and I question the validity of some of the information provided in the text.
