The effective formulation of therapeutic goals and rigorous clinical documentation are essential pillars for the ethical and professional practice of Occupational Therapy. This work emerges in response to the need for clear criteria, practical tools, and a structured method to guide the intervention process, from planning to the recording of outcomes. It reviews the fundamental and practical criteria for developing effective therapeutic goals, focusing on the client, occupational performance, and the context in which the intervention takes place. It also provides clear guidelines for documenting each stage of the therapeutic process: admission, assessment, intervention, follow-up, and discharge. Occupational Therapy Treatment Goals and Documentation: A Practical Method for Their Development is aimed at occupational therapists who wish to refine and update their clinical practice and skills in goal-setting and professional documentation. It is also a reference resource for university instructors interested in incorporating a systematic and practical approach into their teaching, and for students seeking to acquire solid, applicable tools from the start of their training. An essential manual for those aspiring to rigorous, ethical, and outcome-focused therapeutic intervention.
