OTD-7701 Health & Wellness Across the Life Cycle
This doctoral seminar will examine major theories and research on bio-psycho-social health and wellness across the lifespan from childhood, through adulthood (relationship/family development, work years, and changing women's health needs), post-work life including new conceptualizations of healthy retirements. These holistic perspectives will be integrated with Occupational Therapy conceptual models and practice, including lifestyle redesign, chronic illness self-management, as well as relevant complementary and integrative practices, and processes that will enable positive change. Exploration of the health and wellness needs and vulnerabilities of people with disability or at risk for disability will be included.
