This book provides an overview of the most influential philosophical movements and shows how these philosophies are a foundational, yet underutilized, element of occupational therapy education, research, and practice. Taff and a multitude of chapter authors demonstrate that the vital points of human existence are found in philosophy as well as science, and that occupational therapy should incorporate a clearly articulated philosophical perspective into its evidence-based and measurement-driven paradigm.
