      This challenging and innovative book explores the political aspects of occupational therapy. It looks at how practitioners may develop political awareness in order to aid community development. A Political Practice of Occupational Therapy is about maximizing the potential impact of occupational therapists' engagements and ensuring the profession is working towards the contruction of a civic society. It is supported by twelve chapters of practice examples from the UK, US, Georgia and Australia, as well as a history of the profession as an agency for social change. It asks: How is it possible to introduce the political into a profession that is linked to health and social care? What form could political practice take, and how could the political components of practice be analyzed and evaluated? It includes significant theoretical chapters on gender, class and sexuality, challenges to holism, occupational literacy, and a discussion of political competence. This book will be of particular use for students exploring community and emerging role settings, client centred practice, occupational and social justice and the theoretical base of the profession. From an editorial team that is widely recognized for their challenges to traditional thought and practice in occupational therapy, this book will be of value not just to occupational therapists but also those employed in health profession management and development, and community based rehabilitation.

      Le pied du patient diabétique est un véritable carrefour où se rencontrent des complications d'origines diverses (neurologiques, artérielles, ostéo-articulaires et infectieuses). Ces complications, les pathologies, les troubles et les lésions qui en découlent, entraînent de longues et douloureuses hospitalisations qui aboutissent parfois à une amputation qui aurait pu être évitée par une bonne prise en charge préventive ou curative. C'est cette prise en charge efficace qui est décrite dans cet ouvrage concret, pragmatique et richement illustré et qui donne au professionnel de santé toutes les conduites pratiques pour le bilan, le traitement et le suivi dans des domaines très variés (médicaux, chirurgicaux et paramédicaux). Le lecteur y trouve également présentés de manière claire des conseils simples ainsi que les éléments principaux à retenir et les erreurs à éviter. Fondé sur une approche multidisciplinaire, cet abrégé apporte ainsi au professionnel de santé une vision globale, codifiée, pratique, la plus simple et la plus efficace possible et finalement plus positive du « pied diabétique ».
