“…The ways in which psychotherapy skills are acquired by occupational therapists were explored in 37 (18.1%) of the articles included in this review. Some of the authors of included studies identified that occupational therapists begin to incorporate psychotherapy into their practice when working in mental health because the nature of their work simply demands the acquisition of these skills ( McLean, 1975 ). Once occupational therapists recognize the need to develop these skills, authors strongly emphasized the need for adequate training that includes supervision to develop psychotherapy competencies over the course of one's career ( Moll et al, 2013 ).…”

Background. Recent changes in the Canadian regulatory landscape have prompted reflections on the role and scope of occupational therapy in the provision of psychotherapy. Purpose. To document how psychotherapy has been explored in occupational therapy literature. Method. We conducted a scoping review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines by searching eight databases (e.g., Medline, AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Sociological Abstracts, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses). Articles included at the full-text stage were subjected to a narrative synthesis. Findings. A total of 207 articles met the criteria for inclusion, spanning 93 years. 47.3% of these articles represented non-empirical literature, with only 14% representing effectiveness studies, suggesting that this body of literature remains in an early stage of development. Implications. Occupational therapists have been writing about and practicing psychotherapy for nearly a century, yet there remains an important opportunity to develop and evaluate occupation-based psychotherapy approaches. Effectiveness studies are needed.

The author has worked at the Ley Clinic, the Oxfordshire Regional Alcoholism Unit, for the past 3 years, and has had training in psychodrama and experience with group analytic work at the Institute of Group Analysis. In this article, she discusses how psychodrama can promote personal change in patients experiencing alcohol dependence and its consequent social and psychological disturbances. She believes that the potential of personal creativity lies within all people, is a basic ingredient of the rehabilitative process, and belongs to every aspect of occupational therapy. She harnesses the creative process through psychodrama.
