“…The general consensus of the literature reviewed (for example, Townsend 1997, Hume 1999, Mayers 2000, however, was that giving spiritual care was part of the occupational therapy domain. That this is at variance with the research by Engquist et al (1997) may be attributable to the fact that much of the literature maintains a theoretical and idealistic stance rather than looking at actual practice.…”

The profession's present interest in the topic of spirituality initiated the decision to undertake this study, which aimed to investigate the extent to which occupational therapists consider clients' spiritual needs as part of their domain. The objectives of the study were to ascertain whether this was part of the occupational therapist's role and to identify the ways in which occupational therapists addressed the spiritual needs of their clients. Six senior II occupational therapists participated in semi-structured interviews. The participants felt that all individuals have spiritual needs, although not all would recognise or acknowledge them as such. All the participants considered spiritual care to be part of their role, but there was some uncertainty regarding the relationship of spiritual care to occupational therapy in general. Spiritual needs were addressed by a listening and holistic approach.

“…He led the profession in the US as it evolved and helped it not only to survive but also to expand. That the changes left the profession with somewhat dichotomous perspectives on the role of occupations as treatment (process vs product, humanist vs biomedical) has provided the stimulus for much debate (see for example , Mocellin 1992a, 1992b, Jackson 1993, Levine Schemm 1994, Paterson 1997, Friedland 1998, Mayers 2000, Hocking 2005) and debate is not a bad thing.…”

This historical research describes the life and work of Thomas Bessell Kidner (1866-1932). The purpose of the article is threefold: to describe Kidner's British heritage, to suggest how Kidner's background may have influenced his contributions to the early development of the profession, and to examine how Kidner's contributions have influenced practice. Using methods appropriate to interpretive biography, primary and secondary source materials have been gathered and analysed relating to Kidner's education and early work experiences in England; his work in Canada, teaching manual training and as Vocational Secretary during the First World War; and his time in the United States, with particular reference to his role with the American Occupational Therapy Association. The analysis suggests that Kidner brought the ideology of educational reform, as manifested in manual training, into occupational therapy and that this work provided a foundation for his approach to the treatment of injured soldiers. Kidner's efforts to help the profession to survive and expand after the war, with the consequent alignment with medicine, are also highlighted. His contact with the profession and with key individuals, such as Elizabeth Casson, in the United Kingdom is also explored. Finally, Kidner's contributions are considered in the light of how the profession might have developed had circumstances been different.

“…Wood (1998) conducted a study on the occupational adaptations of chimpanzees, concluding that lack of occupational opportunities can lead to occupational deprivation. Mayers (2000) evaluated the possibility of occupational therapists working with elders and used the term "occupational deprivation" to emphasize conditions in a nursing home, also based on the study by Whiteford (2000). The concept of "occupational deprivation" was presented and discussed throughout by a number of authors (Evans, 2000;Fieldhouse, 2000;Molineux & Whiteford, 1999;Whiteford, 1997;Whiteford, 2000;Whiteford, Townsend, & Hocking, 2000).…”

The concept of occupational justice relates to social inequality focusing on the needs of humans as occupational beings in their contexts. This article aims to examine the scholarly evolution of the term occupational justice and its related concepts. The article reports (a) the historical development of the term and (b) a thematic mapping of issues addressed by articles that used the occupational justice concept and its related terms. A scoping review was performed where 553 articles were found. We found the first article in 1974, and it was described as the first article that used the term. Two main sets of articles were analyzed: the ones that presented individual approaches and the ones framed by a collective approach. The review contributes to a better understanding of the use of the term occupational justice and its related concepts, and reflects on the impact of collective approaches to socially responsive occupation-based interventions.
