This book covers almost every diagnosis that is studied in occupational therapy. The topics review the most important aspects but still give enough detail so that you are not left wondering what else you needed to know.
Highly recommend to any OT student, especially great to use for fieldwork.

If you are really frustrated looking for this book you can find it under the new publisher, Pro-Ed.

As an American OTR living and practicing in Japan, I need to have a quick reference for the many diagnoses that I am presented with daily. Without the benefit of other therapists to consult with, I am continually looking to this book for a starting place. A good resource for experienced practitioners and a must-own for beginning therapists. Now if there was only an updated edition?

This book provides great summaries of diagnosises and disorders. It is not extensive, but concise on its explanations.
