“…Social ability and communication underpin engagement in occupation and is integral to effective change behaviour and integration into community resources (Baptiste, 2017; Creek, 2010; de Witt, 2014). It is proposed that in some cases legal sanctions placed on stalking perpetrators may fail to address fundamental social ability and communication deficits, thus do little to curb reoffending rates (MacKenzie and James, 2011).…”

Purpose This discussion paper aims to highlight the role of occupational therapy (OT) in understanding stalking and in interventions designed to assist the perpetrator to lead a more fulfilling life through healthier occupations. Design/methodology/approach This study highlights the role of OT in understanding stalking and in designing interventions to assist the perpetrator by extending discussions, drawing on the authors’ practitioner experiences and upon recent study findings on what drives men who stalk. Findings Stalking is a problem behaviour that is often effort-intense, all-consuming, emotionally driven and psychologically damaging for both victims and perpetrators. It consists of a patterned occupation of time which is overarchingly dysfunctional, yet intrinsically purposeful. As humans, our actions and occupations have meaning to us. Stalking can be conceptualised as a meaningful yet self-defeating and harmful pattern of occupations. This paper illustrates how stalking could be addressed through the additional contribution of OT to multi-agency approaches. Research limitations/implications This paper extends the discussion by drawing on the authors’ clinical practitioner experiences and upon recent study findings on what drives men who stalk. Practical implications This paper highlights the role of OT in understanding stalking and in interventions designed to assist the perpetrator to lead a more fulfilling life through healthier occupations. Originality/value This marriage of knowledge from OT and stalking research is set out in support of the application of OT within multi-agency approaches to working with people who stalk.

ABSTRACT.This mixed-methods study investigated the impact of the Re-Animation Approach, a creative occupational therapy, on the well-being and occupational performance of three male patients in a forensic mental health setting. Quantitative data were gathered through Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and qualitative data using semi-structured interviews. GAS tscores demonstrated an over-achievement of expected outcomes in goals related to improving skills, well-being and time use. Issues emerging from thematic analysis of the interviews are consistent with the GAS results. The Re-Animation Approach had a positive impact on participants' health and well-being, addressed a range of occupational needs and can be graded.
