A Guide to the Formulation of Plans and Goals in Occupational Therapy

"The book addresses the widely acknowledged challenge of bridging the theory to practice gap by demonstrating how to use occupation focused knowledge in practice: articulating why formulation is important and establishing it within a clear theoretical framework, before explaining in detail and demonstrating through examples how formulations are constructed. With clear language and short, readable chapters, the book is accessible and useful for busy therapists, and will appeal to students, novice, and experienced therapists alike...The unassuming title belies the power-packed content of this book. Reflecting the voices of authors and therapists, and with an emphasis on demonstrating occupational formulation through diverse examples as well as providing theoretical information and clear instructions, the book caters for different learning styles. Representing excellent value for money, it holds relevance for occupational therapists in any practice setting who are seeking a clear, practical guide for implementing occupational formulation to support collaborative, occupation-centered practice."
