Why occupational therapy?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Occupational therapy as a discipline (Finlay, 1988) has grown and matured with time. It has moved away from an ill-defined, imprecise and informal discipline to one which, while treating the patient as a whole being, nevertheless attempts to identify an individual's unique problems and treats them through purposeful activity. It strives to attain the qualities of a holistic, goal-orientated objective process.
