"This book provides a good starting point for the development of a
more complex understanding of activity analysis that holds
occupation as the central component. It is aimed at students and
new practitioners,

but would have relevance to all levels of clinicians seeking to
develop occupationally focused practice." (British Journal of
Occupational Therapy, 1 January 2012)
