The various methods used to assess body image disturbance are examined and a recommendation that the occupational therapy literature should be investigated to enable a proposal for treatment of the more severe instances of anorexia nervosa.

There are difficulties however, in the making of reliable, accurate and valid assessments of the behavioural abilities and potential of other people. Despite the fact that these problems are numerous and specific, very little appears to be done in the teaching of skills and consideration of effective techniques to assess behaviour.

The results of the survey showed that the journal had increased both in size and in the number of articles published per annum. There was an increase in the use of references from 2.5 to 6.5 per article, and single clinical authors wrote 63% of the articles. The topic of most concern continued to be physical occupational therapy, with the subsequent most popular areas being psychiatry, equipment/aids and teaching subjects.

This article examines the roles and functions of occupational therapy within forensic psychiatry and identifies the areas for professional growth.

Implications for occupational therapy practice are considered in relation to leisure rehabilitation, using Herzburg's job satisfaction model and Parker's model of leisure as a guide.

To date, there has been little discussion of the occupational therapist's role in BMT. This article outlines six stages of BMT, and discusses occupational therapy assessment, treatment and long-term follow-up in order to highlight the contribution occupational therapy may make in the care of these patients.

Most research regarding near-misses and mistakes comes from the fields of nursing and aviation. Objectives: This study explores the concepts of'near-misses' and'mistakes', specifically in relation to occupational therapy and patient safety. It then examines new graduate occupational therapists in Australia and New Zealand in relation to any near-misses and mistakes which they have experienced. ...
