Book Reviews/Revue de livres

In keeping with the theme, Adult Psychiatry, the Editorial Board felt it was an opportune time to canvas the faculty of Canadian occupational therapy programs for articles and books which they felt were, highly pertinent to students, professors and clinicians. As you will see, some of the submissions deal with the complexities of psychiatric patients; others help the reader to gain a theoretical and practical understanding of treatment techniques currently used in occupational therapy. One is challenged to rethink some traditional concepts, for example, the role of women in society. New ideas are also presented, such as the part the body plays in emotional makeup and the upcoming role of the occupational therapist as a researcher. It is hoped that this selection will prove to be both interesting and useful.
