Review
“With an increasing focus on ethics, both in legislation and clinical practice, this book is an excellent addition to the topic as it is tailor made for the rehabilitation setting. These authors take a complex topic and make it readable, practical and relevant to current occupational therapy practice.” — Fern Swedlove, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy
