Transformation through occupation [book review]

Abstract

The issues of culture and cross-culture practice, have been bandied about for quite some time now in occupational therapy and are often referred to, rather cursorily, in numerous books and articles. Finally we have a revelatory text book which tackles these ill all their manifestations, complexities and challenges. Ostensibly about occupational therapy in South Africa, the book looks at the impact of poverty, women with disabilities, women and youth in the criminal justice system, children living with HIV / AIDS and youth at risk - areas which are rapidly gaining prominence in the Europe and in our country often in parallel with the issue of multiculturalism.
