Explore the profound connection between occupational therapy and spirituality with this essential guide from Routledge. Spirituality remains a vital yet often overlooked component in therapeutic practice, and this book bridges that gap by offering a clear, evidence-based exploration of its role.

This volume also addresses the therapeutic self, offering practical strategies to integrate spiritual awareness into daily therapeutic interactions. By the end, you will have a comprehensive toolset to apply spiritual concepts in ways that align with core health principles, enhancing both client outcomes and professional fulfillment.
