Each theory-based chapter is designed for ease in gathering content knowledge and comparing theories in a distinctive manner. The book includes: Summaries of the current trends found in practice, along with external influential models of health and wellness impacting populations of concern; Exploration of some of the most common occupation-based models around the world, with each model’s holistic conceptual nature described, including theoretical assumptions and practice guidelines for evaluation and intervention; and Reviews of common frames of reference found in evidence-based practice, which address the secondary and tertiary needs of common populations.

Practical guidelines assist the reader in formulating an evaluation process and determining the relevant intervention strategies that promote occupational participation, engagement, and functioning across the lifespan and the continuum of health.
