write a description of
Human occupation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Human occupation is defined as the doing of work (paid and unpaid), play or activities of daily living within a temporal, physical and sociocultural context that characterizes much of human life. The focus is on everyday life rather than illness or disability. The author emphasizes the importance of an occupation-focused, client-centred, holistic and evidence-based approach in enabling people to engage in occupations that provide meaning and satisfaction and that support their physical and emotional well being.

The book is broadly divided in two parts. The first part provides the theoretical framework and explores the roles of volitional thoughts and feelings, habituation, physical and mental performance capacity and the environment in shaping occupational behavior. The second part, which has been substantially revised and expanded in this edition, looks at how theory translates into practice. It describes methods and tools for the therapist to assess and engage with his clients and enable change.

The book is well written and easily read. The concepts are developed in a structured and logical manner. Coverage is comprehensive and supported by evidence. Throughout the book, key issues are illustrated with in-depth case studies. Of particular interest are cases reports of rehabilitation and journey back to work of people with physical and mental impairment or disability. The model is applied to all age groups, from childhood and adolescence to adulthood and older adulthood, and therefore not all sections are relevant to the occupational health physician.

Although not directly aimed at occupational health professionals, this book is nevertheless a useful resource to all whose work involves rehabilitation, in that it enables better understanding of how people make occupational choices and how these can be effectively influenced.
