Willard & Spackman's Occupational Therapy

I purchased this book for my Master's program. It is a thick text with a lot of well written, relevant information. The chapters are short, which makes reading easier. The appendixes in the back were very helpful, giving a thorough listing of common conditions, interventions and evidence and a listing of occupational therapy evaluation information. Still the "gold standard" OT textbook.

I needed this book for school and it's been very useful so far. I love the way it reads and it will be a book I keep for years to come. It's a great text!

Those of you who are in school, know how terribly expensive most books are. But this one is worth every penny, and is actually much less compared to how extensive it is. I paid more for a flimsy lab manual. The authors could charge a lot more for this book. I bought it for an Intro to Occupational Therapy course. I was told by another student, that this book will be used for the entire Master's Program in some schools. It is well worth the investment. It looks a bit intimidating when you see how thick it is, but most chapters are short and sweet.

Fantastic book. At first I was intimated by it's size, but when I started reading I understood how rich in history this book is. This book has the best definitions of Occupational Therapy out of all my other text books. Highly recommend, 10/10

This book has useful content, but it is very heavy. You will never be bringing this book to class.

I found the "new" W&S very useful, both in the US and in Finland, where I am teaching for the semester. It has very good case studies, and the latest up to date information. Having seen the Jan Davis videos before, I know that students will find them very helpful. Dr. Gillen's contributions also add to the content in the text.W&S continues to be the "bible" for occupational therapy education!

No page numbers!!! This is extremely disappointing because the only reason i bought the ebook was beacause it was cheaper. I use this for assigned readings for my classes in a MOT program. Some of the readings are just a couple of pages long. It takes me longer to find the section I need than to read it.

When I saw its length I was terrified, but I discover the information has written in a way that you never get bored, instead you really enjoy the readings. :) A really necessary book for OT's
