| Abstract | "Effective Management in Therapeutic Recreation Services, Fourth Edition, provides theoretical and practical knowledge about the management of therapeutic recreation services in health and human service organizations. The text was written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students as well as practitioners. The text was also prepared for a therapeutic recreation specialist who has responsibility for managing direct therapeutic recreation service and the assignment and direction of staff, volunteers, and interns who deliver the service. While all the information useful to a potential manager or practicing manager is not in this one volume, the intent is to present the important portions of management information relevant to the professional who is a first-line manager. Changes are taking place on a daily basis in health and human service organizations, which in turn affect recreational therapy practice and its management. Management regardless of setting, will change dramatically in the future. Thus, some statements may not be as appropriate as they were at the time the manuscript was prepared"-- Provided by publisher. |
