The  profession of therapeutic recreation has faced many challenges in  recent years. Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation: On Competencies and  Outcomes (3rd ed.) brings together an incredibly diverse and  knowledgeable range of authors to intelligently and articulately present  these issues. This new edition draws upon the insight and knowledge of those now  leading the TR profession in seeking to better place the profession as a  valuable health and human service offering and as a much desired career  choice. Thirty chapters represent the prime issues and challenges currently  facing the field. Like the first two editions, this effort has four major sections:  Introduction, Education, Practice, and Research. Each section begins with a Keynote chapter aimed at setting the stage  for that particular section. Each section also ends with a Perspective chapter, largely an opinion or  viewpoint piece to encourage readers to continue discussion on related  issues. Exciting elements of this third edition include the following: • Updates to address new contemporary issues and challenges  • 30 chapters, with over 80 authors, many new authors and long-time  content experts in the field  • 12 brand-new chapters, addressing the latest issues and future  directions of the field  • Chapters are independent yet interrelated as are the issues  • Complete yet concise descriptions of issues, not answering, but posing  questions for discovery and reflection  • Discussion questions at end of each chapter The new edition acknowledges the increasingly cross-disciplinary nature  of modern-day health services and identifies how TR professionals can  better position themselves personally and professionally to become  critical players.
