Client Centered Practice is an approach to occupational therapy that embraces a philosophy of respect for, and a partnership with, people receiving occupational therapy services. It recognizes the autonomy of individuals, the strength that a client may bring to a therapy encounter, the need for client choice, and the benefits of client-therapist collaboration. Understanding the concepts of client centered occupational therapy will help to provide better client satisfaction, participation, and improved outcomes. Features of this work include: outlines of key concepts of client centered occupational therapy; provision of practical ideas to implement client centered occupational therapy; coverage of ethical issues in client centered occupational therapy; and a discussion of how client centered occupational therapy fits with current trends in health care, including managed care.
