Description
This landmark text challenges occupational therapists to more fully realize the profession's social vision of a more just society where
disability, old age, and other marginalizing conditions and experiences are addressed by involving people in helping themselves to (re)gain
the capacity and power to construct their own destinies through their participation in daily life.
The book explores the new
concept of occupational apartheid - the separation between those who have meaningful, useful occupations and those who are deprived of
or isolated from occupation, or who are otherwise constrained in their daily life.
