This book contains a true legacy in the tradition of one of its greatest occupational therapy pioneers, Eleanor Clarke Slagle (1876-1942). The American Occupational Therapy Association recognized this pioneer's influence by establishing its highest award in her honor in 1953. This compilation presents the 47 Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lectures, and while each stands firm as its own solid example of scholarship, when read sequentially they form a unique record of the steady progress and increasing sophistication of occupational therapy. The lectures contain history, leadership, mentoring, encouragement, admonishment, philosophy, and practical guidance. Above all, they reflect Slagle's vision of the integration of theory, philosophy, and spirit from which practitioners, educators, and students can draw inspiration.
