This book challenges occupational therapists, members of a still small and rather invisible profession, to more fully realize the profession's social vision of a more just society where disability, old age, and other marginalizing conditions and experiences are addressed by involving people in helping themselves to (re)gain the capacity and power to construct their own destinies through their participation in daily life. The book will explore the new idea of occupational apartheid - the separation between those who have meaningful, useful occupations and those who are deprived of, isolated from, or otherwise constrained in their daily life. All royalties from this book will go to a special fund that supports the initiatives of SPIRIT of SURVIVORS - Occupational Therapy Without Borders.
