Participating in the 1950s rehabilitation, the 1960s equal rights, and the 1970s women's movements, these innovators, being primarily women, aimed to define themselves as having professional and scientific authority that was distinct from the male-dominated medical model. The community of therapists faced challenges such as that of retaining the appearance of being \"ladylike\" whilst doing \"unladylike\" tasks. This book describes the personal experiences of 12 differing occupational therapists and it identifies how a group of them strengthened and developed the profession in the face of diverse challenges. This volume would be of interest to those studying occupational therapy, women and medicine and the history of medicine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eOccupational Therapy in Mental Health\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138108642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138108646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christine Peters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447831703807,"sku":"9781138108646","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c30f0288-38fa-49f2-9d96-3298171d12ea.jpg?v=1777235112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/powerful-occupational-therapists-christine-peters-9781138108646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
