Background

About Patricia J Scott

In Resilience, Patricia J Scott shared the strategies she used as an occupational therapist to not only handle multiple major health challenges but to live a productive and satisfying life. Her experience of the challenges to her health including 2 liver transplants, spinal cancer, misplacement of a central line resulting in a stroke, and cryptogenic autoimmune pneumonia, among others, was daunting but she never let it get to her. Dr. Scott's research is on role identification, and her primary role became threatened when she was 28 years old. One role she had no readiness for was the patient role, and this book is designed to prepare others facing the "Patient role". She includes her experiences, decades of her research on recovery strategies, and vivid personal experiences. ANYone interested in the patient experience will find this book a treasure.
