Social discrimination; Occupational therapy

Delving into the diverse experiences of minoritised occupational therapists, this book contributes to the increasingly critical need for cultural humility in healthcare and discusses difficult topics surrounding culture, race, and religion with clarity and humanity.

Using a wealth of research and knowledge on different cultures and communities this illuminating book focusses on a person-centred approach and encourages meaningful dialogue and self-reflection. Co-authored by the Coalition of Occupational Therapy Advocates for Diversity, this invaluable resource will allow you to journey through real-world experiences and cultural contexts through in-depth case studies and interviews from OTs at varying stages of their career.

Occupational Identity will equip you with rich insights and actionable guidance in order to promote a better understanding of race, religion, and culture. Whether you're a seasoned OT, student, educator, or healthcare worker, this book will help you embrace diversity, establish better trust and communication, and deliver compassionate and culturally nuanced care that promotes better health outcomes for all.
