(From the Website of Miwa Shoten)
This book suggests a breakthrough (or future) way of occupational therapy that affirms people with disabilites as they are although they "cannot" do sotimes due to their disabilities and makes them energetic.

This book transcends the framework of "acceptance of disabilities," and tries to approach a concrete establishment of occupational therapy that affirms people with disabilities as they are although they cannot do sometimes due to their disabilities, apart from occupational therapy that tries to increase what people with disabilities can do.

The author demolishes the existing concept of rehabilitation in which we increase what disabled people can and suggests a new occupational therapy from the sides both of interdisciplinary viewpoints from sociology, disability studies, phenomenology, and research on the invloved people and of the practical method based on occupation.

This book will provide readers a big clue when they worry about their own occupational therapy in clinical settings.

This book is a must for people supporting disabled people as well as occupational therapists.
