Applied Theories in Occupational Therapy

Book was new, no issues. New book.

Well written with an understanding of where the profession of occupational therapy stands and how it arrived at this point regarding theory and the concepts of theory, model, and frame of reference.

The book I received goes from chapter 3 to the middle of chapter 19, proceeds to chapter 20, and then chapter 5. Chapter 4 is completely missing.

You could pick any paragraph at random from this book and use it in a technical writing course as an example of overwrought nigh-unreadable prose. There are entire pages that could have been reduced to 2-3 sentences with a bit of editing. I have honestly never experienced a more excruciating text than this one. If you're buying this, you probably have no choice in the matter. Be braced for the worst.

I ordered what I thought would be a new copy of this textbook. However the cover was beaten up and there was a giant sticker on it.

I purchased this book new and there is highlighting all over half the book.
