Teach your students to work holistically, creatively, and collaboratively when caring for geriatric patients with Karen Frank Barney and Margaret Perkinson’s Occupational Therapy with Aging Adults. Emphasizing evidence-based practice and a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, this brand-new text walks students through the full range of geriatric occupational therapy practice. The authors have included: the conceptual foundations and principles of gerontological occupational therapy, age- and psychosocial-related changes, the functional environment of older adults, the continuum of care, and the attributes, responsibilities, and roles involved in gerontological occupational therapy. The text also covers topical OT issues that are unique to an aging population — such as ethical approaches to treatment; the epidemiology of global aging; nutrition and oral health concerns; pharmacological issues; low vision interventions; and assistive technology supports — to ensure your students are well-versed in every aspect of this key practice area.
