Professional Issues in Therapeutic Recreation: On Competencies and Outcomes (3rd ed.) explores some of the issues related to professional competence and quality service delivery. This book offers an introduction, including on competencies and outcoming and on the World Health Organization’s International Classification system. It also examines education issues, such as online learning and teaching. Practice issues, such as evidence-based practice, are also discussed. It also offers research issues, such as research as a participatory process.

This 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.

The editors and authors have taught at the higher education level. They also have served as recreation therapists; editors for therapeutic recreation journals; and directors of recreational therapy, among other professional experiences.
