Answering the call for a more family-centred approach in occupational therapy practice, this text investigates the role of mothering in occupational therapy. It focuses on the routine experiences of mothers in their everyday occupation of caring for their children to provide a better understanding of the effects of health and disability on mothering. This multidisciplinary social/health sciences text gives voice to women who are disadvantaged, so readers can further consider new ways of working with people and developing programmes that shape their own practice. Stories and vignettes allow readers to "hear" very young and older mothers as they negotiate challenges posed by their own or their children's illnesses, disabilities or social disadvantages, and to examine how they respond given these circumstances. Contributions from numerous expert scholars and practitioners encourage readers to consider thoughtfully how to apply the information in their own practice. the contributors are experts in: behavioural science, education, ethics, medical science, sociology, social psychology, health education, infant mental health, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, psychology, rehabilitation counselling and social work. The text aims to avoid being a "recipe book" of basic how-to information, but rather presents information on research and practice in a more reflective manner to enhance the readers' critical thinking.
