From the Back Cover

Evidence–based practice is one of the driving forces in current healthcare practice. Whilst most occupational therapists acknowledge the need for research and the need for an evidence–based practice approach to interventions, many therapists admit that their grasp of research is limited and therefore they tend to avoid reading research papers and dislike numbers and statistics. This book makes evidence–based practice accessible and relevant to occupational therapists, using examples from therapy practice.
