Newly updated to address emerging directions in occupational therapy and occupational science, The Meaning of Everyday Occupation, Third Edition encourages occupational therapy personnel - students, educators, researchers, and practitioners - to recognize humans as occupational beings and to understand the meaning and significance of everyday occupation in day-to-day life.
Written by award-winning and internationally known authors Drs.

Each chapter is augmented by the authors' personal reflections, narratives from occupational therapists in practice, and quotations from participants in the authors' occupational research, creating a text in which the concepts and theories of occupation and occupational therapy come alive for the reader. Themes in the Third Edition include:
- Meaning in everyday life and its occupations

- Well-being and development through everyday occupation
- Occupation as connection
- Disability and occupation
- Occupation and the human spirit
- Everyday creativity Emphasizing occupation as experience, the comprehensive Third Edition champions the contributions of meaning to a client-centered approach to practice. This brings forward a new understanding of how to therapeutically affect the systems in which we all live and work.
