“…Winnicott felt that the 'intermediate area' between a mother and child, in which reality could be playfully tested, stretched and rejected or accepted as desired, persisted into adulthood where it finds its expression in creative artistic, spiritual or cultural experience. Piergrossi and Gibertoni (1995) feel that the occupational therapy experience can be best understood as taking place in this intermediate area, presumably with the therapist replacing the mother figure. Jung (1971) and Storr (1972) both expressed the theory that human beings are self-regulating entities, not just in terms of biological homeostatic mechanisms such as acid-base balance, but also in terms of psychological mechanisms.…”

“…The publication dates of these articles ranged from 1947 to 2018. This body of literature explored psychodynamic approaches including projective techniques aimed at uncovering and addressing unconscious conflicts (Fike, 1990), psychodrama and sociodrama (McLean, 1975), object relations therapy (Piergrossi & Gibertoni, 1995), psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory (Benetton, 1995;Germain, 2018), and insight-oriented approaches (Moffatt et al, 1995).…”

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.
