Professor Diane Cox, Chair of the Editorial Board of the British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Professor of Occupational Therapy, University of Cumbria, UK This new book, addressing sleep from an occupational perspective, is a welcome addition to the literature. Written in an accessible style, it presents a broad picture of current knowledge in the field, providing a wealth of useful information for the occupational therapy practitioner.
Jennifer Creek, freelance occupational therapist, and author of The Core Concepts of Occupational Therapy Like a good night's sleep for the many who need it, this extraordinary book is long overdue, and will be an important addition to any occupational therapist's library. It is comprehensive and well researched, highlighting a vitally important area for contemporary practice.
Dr Charles Christiansen, Occupational Therapy Scholar, Author and Academic The authors (...) use a case study approach to illustrate points and provide useful descriptions of common sleep disturbances and the management of intervention programmes, including specific interventions for those with learning difficulties... A number of interventions are discussed and the chapter on children's sleep includes a list of resources for parents and therapists, a guide to some assessment tools and links to relevant organizations.The book covers adult sleep problems as well and links to mental health and difficulties such as dementia.
Mary Mountstephen, author, editor
SEN Magazine
The aim of the authors is to help occupational therapists to get an awareness of sleep problems in their patients, to record sleep disorders, and to offer help. In addition, the authors would like to encourage more awareness between sleep patterns and occupation during waking hours... This book is an excellent reference book and highly recommended for all occupational therapists!
