This  groundbreaking new book addresses a critical aspect of the occupational therapy  practice the art and science of building effective, fulfilling relationships  with clients.A  distinguished clinician and educator, Renee Taylor, PhD, uses a new conceptual practice  model, the Intentional Relationship Model, to define  how the client and the therapist each contribute to the unique interpersonal  dynamic that becomes the therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes how  therapists must act deliberately, thoughtfully, and with vigilant anticipation of  the challenges and breakthroughs that have the potential to influence the  course of the relationship. Actual case  examples from 12 exceptional clinicians from around the world illustrate how  this model is used to address many of the challenging interpersonal situations that  commonly occur in therapy. And, guided exercises and assignments help readers  master the skills they need and apply them to a wide range of clinical situations  and presenting problems.  Right on target. Innovative, nothing comes near it  in occupational therapy. A sophisticated meld of occupational therapy and  psychology. It is very innovative for occupational therapy and other fields. I  am thoroughly impressed.  I have found no occupational therapy book more  interesting to me than this one. I always have to go outside of the field to find  such rich and interesting material.
