Promoting Occupational Participation: Collaborative Relationship-Focused Occupational Therapy addresses the fundamental purpose of occupational therapy – helping others to gain access to, initiate, and sustain occupational participation. This book emphasizes that the process of occupational therapy is focused on collaborative relationships with individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. It builds on concepts and processes to celebrate the strengths, knowledge, talents, and resources of individuals and collectives. The publication introduces three important developments: The characterization of occupational therapists’ relationships with clients The primary aim of practice The process of occupational therapy as it shifts to focus on justice, equity, and rights for individuals and collectives. The new Canadian Model of Occupational Participation (CanMOP) provides a critical framework for gathering and considering information to meaningfully consider valued occupations and enhance occupational possibilities through addressing micro, meso, and macro contexts. The Canadian Occupational Therapy Inter-Relational Practice Process (COTIPP) Framework is a guide for collaborative relationship-focused processes of doing occupational therapy. Published by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT), the book was developed by the co-editors, 40 authors, and an advisory panel consisting of Canadian and international occupational therapists, and public members. It is divided into four sections: Section I: National and international contexts for occupation and occupational therapy Section II: A model, approach, and framework for occupational therapy Section III: Occupational therapy with individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations Section IV: Promoting just and equitable occupational participation
