| Summary |
"Since publication of the first edition in 1996, this book has established itself as an essential text for occupational therapists. It offers an understanding of the law relating to their practice, but is written to be accessible for those who have no prior legal knowledge. The text provides information for occupational therapists employed in health and social services, as well as the law relevant to private practitioners." |
