Scaffa (occupational therapy, U. of South Alabama) et al. explain how to practice occupational therapy from a wellness rather than a treatment perspective. In the 27 chapters, occupational therapists, physicians, nutritionists, and others mostly from the US outline the role of preventive occupational therapy as a health promotion tool, how to incorporate it into clinical practice, and how to implement wellness interventions across the life span. The first two sections address historical and philosophical perspectives on occupational therapy's role in health promotion, conceptual models, health behavior frameworks, public health principles and approaches, cultural and sociological considerations, quality of life, occupational justice, population health, and designing interventions. Sections three and four cover promoting exercise, weight management, sexual health, mental health, preventing substance abuse and injury and violence, and health promotion with specific populations, including people with disabilities, caregivers, homeless individuals, and at the end of life. Implications for research round out the volume. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
