Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-02 00:00:00 Ashley Fischer Whether you're in practice, or a student, this book gives you advice and guidance around assessments, interventions, communication and much more that you need to consider when working with individuals with learning disabilities. It's something you can dip in and out of when you need it. Invaluable book if you're working with people with learning disabilities.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-24 00:00:00 Michael Welty This is simultaneously a dense and highly accessible book that deepens notions of illness narratives within health care. I especially appreciated Mattingly's weaving in of 'real life' stories of therapeutic interactions between occupational therapists and rehabilitation patients who are negotiating their way to some sort of healing. What I found somewhat irritating and forced in places was Mattingly's insistence on drawing parallels between these healthcare setting clinical narrative dramas/rituals and those of 'primitive' exotic (to us) communities in remote areas of the world. I realize that Mattingly is a medical anthropologist and probably feels compelled to honor her scholarly lineage, but I felt it detracted from the strength of her arguments.
