Domestic Abuse Across the Lifespan The Role of Occupational Therapy

Domestic Abuse Across the Lifespan: The Role of Occupational Therapy reframes the problem of domestic violence, taking it out of the home and into the practice of occupational therapy. It identifies the effects of all types of domestic abuse (spousal, child, elder, etc.) as well as frameworks to address dysfunction that has occurred secondary to the abuse. This book shows that the effects of domestic abuse are indeed in the realm of occupational therapy practice, and that just as occupational therapists would consider other environmental concerns (i.e. kitchen and bathroom safety), they must also consider abuse and its effects.Helfrich, Christine A. is the author of 'Domestic Abuse Across the Lifespan The Role of Occupational Therapy' with ISBN 9780789013859 and ISBN 0789013851.
