Description and Table of Contents
Description
This practical text is intended to help occupational therapy students make the most of the fieldwork component of their professional education. The focus is on the student's experience, and the central tenet of the text is the responsibility, challenge and pleasure of life-long learning. Fieldwork is shown to provide an important opportunity to integrate the art, science and ethical practice of occupational therapy. The text covers the whole spectrum of fieldwork, in a way which should be of interest to academic and fieldwork educators too. The reader is encouraged to enter into current debates, engage in interdisciplinary and international comparisons, and appreciate the tensions between professional issues and organizational contexts.
