What is Transactional Perspectives on Occupation about?

Forlagets beskrivelse: An occupation is, most simply put, any activity we participate in that engages (occupies) our attention, interests, and/or expectations, at any point throughout the life course. This book offers an emerging and innovative perspective on occupation, based in the work of American philosopher John Dewey and other pragmatists, that challenges accepted ideas. Each chapter presents a lively and multifaceted dialogue on transactional perspectives on occupation.

Often taken for granted by some academic disciplines, occupation is a core element of human life. This book
