Media Reviews
The Making of Rehabilitation provides a wealth of information to anyone interested in the history of physiatry and physical or occupational therapy. It also makes a strong case for recognizing the marketplace as an important arbitrator in determining the success or failure of occupational therapy as a viable discipline. --Kathlyn L. Reed, American Journal of Occupational Therapy
