Samenvatting:

This practical text covers the legal aspects that arise in occupational therapy. Written for those who have no legal knowledge, the book clearly sets out the basic principles of law applying to practical situations. Chapters on all the main client groups (children, the elderly, and the physically and mentally handicapped) provide the relevant specialist law. Health and Safety laws are explained and an extensive glossary of legal terms is included. Occupational therapy students and teachers will also find the chapters on professional registration, teaching education, and research of particular use. This key text is an essential purchase for all those working and studying in occupational therapy and will also be of great benefit to health-care managers and those who purchase or provide occupational-therapy services.
