It also illustrates how occupational therapist...
The shift from response to recovery is now noticeable as the world moves past the paralyzing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This book explores responses to the pandemic by international, regional, and local institutions, multilateral action, and crisis prevention efforts at different levels of governance, with a specific focus on the situation of women and children. The contributions in this volume address novel topics and expand the analysis to the different challenges faced by women and children, linking these to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, to create a holistic view of the true impact of the pandemic. The focus on international and regional cooperation provides further insights on how management of the COVID-19-induced crisis can be altered and improved. Immediate effects of the pandemic were focused on healthcare, but long-term and knock-on effects spread to different societal sectors and must be analyzed to ensure they will be addressed and, ultimately, resolved.
The companion text to Occupational Therapy without Borders - Volume 1: learning from the spirit of survivors! In this landmark text writers from around the world discuss a plurality of occupation-based approaches that explicitly acknowledge the full potential of the art and science of occupational therapy. The profession is presented as a political possibilities-based practice, concerned with what matters most to people in real life contexts, generating practice-based evidence to complement evidence-based practice. As these writers demonstrate, occupational therapies are far more than, as some critical views have suggested, a monoculture of practice rooted in Western modernity. Nobel Peace L...
Este livro reúne reflexões em torno de pressupostos teóricos e de proposições práticas emanadas daquilo que se constituiu como a Terapia Ocupacional Social no Brasil. São trazidos ensaios que transitam por distintas percepções teóricas e formulações práticas, evidenciando a pluralidade temática e epistemológica que atualmente caracteriza os estudos nesse campo. Também, são apresentados temas contemporâneos que têm interpelado a terapia ocupacional social, ganhando a cena para discutir relevância social, conhecimento acadêmico e atuação terapêutico-ocupacional, como as juventudes, em geral pobre, negra e periférica, o trabalho territorial, a escola pública, o ato infracional, as drogas, a circulação e a mobilidade urbana, os gêneros e as sexualidades dissidentes, as redes sociais e as (in)visibilidades.
Este livro reúne contribuições de terapeutas ocupacionais responsáveis por pesquisas e experiências de intervenção no âmbito do setor educação com os jovens, trazendo referenciais que vêm configurando ações terapêutico-ocupacionais junto a esse público tanto na Educação Básica quanto na Superior, com destaque para aquelas voltadas à escola. Igualmente pontua um diálogo sobre os pressupostos em torno da educação para todos, da educação inclusiva, da educação especial, da saúde na escola, da sociologia da educação e, com isso, agrega materiais que permitem o delineamento daquilo que vem se estabelecendo como um campo prático e teórico para terapeutas ocupacionais junto aos jovens em prol de uma Inclusão Radical.
En los últimos años a nivel regional y global, se ha producido un intenso debate en el campo de la terapia ocupacional, tanto en lo disciplinar como profesional. Desarrollos teóricos, las prácticas interventivas, son puestos en diálogo y tensión con diferentes manifestaciones que se han estructurado a nivel internacional. Todas ellas constituyen la praxis social de la Terapia Ocupacional resultante de condiciones históricas y situadas de la llamada sociedad global, capitalista y neoliberal.
