'And a seed was planted...' Occupation based approaches for social inclusion: Volume 3: The context of inclusion Participatory approaches and research - Paperback

by Nick Pollard (Editor), Hanneke van Bruggen (Editor), Sarah Kantartzis (Editor)

Occupational therapy originated in social reform, but early in its history became allied with medicine and a biomedical perspective. Over the last two decades the profession has recognized the value of the work of its pioneers and sought to argue for principles such as occupational justice and occupational balance, social inclusion, and for forms of involvement based in the community which centre on people doing things together.

This is the third volume of a three-volume work develops these perspectives. The Editors and contributors lay out the theoretical background, and then through many vivid case studies show how these ideas are being put into practice internationally. And a seed was planted... includes theoretical perspectives, evaluations of projects in practice and education, approaches to working with communities, participatory approaches and research. And a seed was planted ... offers 40 chapters by 85 authors with contributions from 20 countries in five continents.
