The Kawa Model
Churchill Livingstone (Verlag)
978-0-443-10234-9 (ISBN)
This book presents a new conceptual model of practice in occupational therapy that differs from current theories. The model is based on the metaphor of a river that stands for the meanings of life, and is the first conceptual model from outside the West. It is easy to comprehend, simple and effective.
