About The Book

The Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, 4th Edition (OTPF-4) is an indispensable core reference published by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). This cornerstone document defines the profession's scope and standardizes language across healthcare systems, academic curricula, and research initiatives. The 4th Edition provides an updated, comprehensive articulation of the dual pillars of practice: the Domain (the parameters within which occupational therapy operates) and the Process (the operational delivery of client-centered evaluation, intervention, and targeted outcomes).
