Rezensionen

"This book provides a good starting point for the development of amore complex understanding of activity analysis that holdsoccupation as the central component. It is aimed at students andnew practitioners,
but would have relevance to all levels of clinicians seeking todevelop occupationally focused practice." (British Journal ofOccupational Therapy, 1 January 2012)
