Description
This landmark book challenges occupational therapists to examine the generally accepted assumptions and key concepts of their profession
by looking at the social and political mechanisms that influence people's access to useful and meaningful occupations. It also explores
the new idea of occupational apartheid – the separation between those who have meaningful, useful occupations and those who are deprived
of, isolated from, or otherwise constrained in their daily life.
