Well-known and respected author, Gary Kielhofner, has thoroughly revised his groundbreaking text that compares and contrasts eight well-known models. He uses numerous diagrams to show the practical aspects of occupational therapy theory and to help students understand the similarities and differences between the models. He critically re-evaluates existing models and extensively examines all associated research to determine whether or not they still warrant the status of model. Chapters are well organized and are supported by extensive referencing.

The new 2004 edition:
This book is a must have for new OTs trying to understand theory and OT. Simple, clear, learned lots about different models- from SI to biomechanical to MOHO.... The new 2004 edition is even better, because it has extra chapters on important issues in our field and pictures make it less tedious to read.
debe publicarse en español:
Este libro me parece muy pero que muy interesante pero deberia empezarse a publicar en castellano para todos los hispanos hablantes esto ayudaria a promocionar la terapia ocupacional en hispano america y en españa
