New Release: Occupational Therapy – African Perspectives (2nd Edition)

We are pleased to share that the second edition of Occupational Therapy: African Perspectives, edited by Kate Sherry, Rosemary Crouch and Jennifer Creek (2025), has now been published.
This landmark textbook showcases the enormous growth of occupational therapy across Africa over the past fifteen years and highlights the innovation, creativity and contextual knowledge emerging from practice within the region.

Drawing on contributors from at least 17 African countries, the book brings forward stories, lived experience and context-specific approaches across a wide range of practice areas. Chapters explore:

• The scope and development of OT across African settings

• Contextually and culturally relevant OT theories and approaches

• Occupational therapy across the life course, from birth to death

• Community-based rehabilitation, humanitarian practice and structural poverty

The four-section structure offers a rich introduction to African OT practice, conceptual foundations, life course work, and specialised fields including CBR and humanitarian response. This edition aims to contribute to advancing occupational therapy across the African region and beyond.
