Occupational Wholeness for Health and Wellbeing
The book behind this site’s Model of Occupational Wholeness: a practical guide to spotting where your life has quietly drifted from what you actually need, and what to do about it.
Yazdani’s work with the Model of Occupational Wholeness is the first contribution by a person who grew up, trained and worked for most of her life in a Middle East country — and the second within Asia.
Mehdi Rassafiani, Associate Professor, Charles Sturt University
A way of supporting changes in occupational engagement through a non-judgemental process — perceiving occupation as potentially both health-promoting and illness-producing, regardless of the occupation itself.
Jane A. Davis, Assistant Professor, University of Toronto
