“…Several Australian authors publishing in Australia and in the UK, have been at the forefront of exploring new directions for occupational therapy. (Moss, 1990, Miller and Robertson, 1991, Lloyd, 1995, Yau, 1995. However, this again raises the question of whether the focus of the profession should be diversification or consolidation.…”

Occupational Therapy in Mental Health: A Review of the Literature

British Journal of Occupational Therapy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review of the literature was conducted as part of the development of a position paper on the way ahead for research, education and practice in occupational therapy in mental health. It included publications over the past decade and concentrated on the British Journal of Occupational Therapy. Recognising experience from other countries would be beneficial, aspects of the literature from the National Journals in American, Canada and Australia which were most relevant to practice in the UK were included. The shortage of articles on mental health was conspicuous and their diverse topics and descriptive nature were notable. In the UK literature, the clinical subjects featured most often were dementia, work rehabilitation, community mental health and forensic psychiatry, with other subjects either appearing infrequently or not being included. The literature from the other countries also explored new roles for occupational therapy, reflecting the changes in the delivery of mental health services.In the American Journal of Occupational Therapy there was concern about the declining number of occupational therapists working in mental health. The review identified major themes in the literature and posed questions for education, research and practice in occupational therapy and formed the foundation for the position paper.

“…The forensic client group is comprised of mentally disordered offenders who have committed crimes but whose needs have been assessed to be better served by the mental health system than by the criminal justice system (Cook, 1991). Their detention within the forensic unit is determined by conditions and restrictions imposed by the Home Office as well as treatment needs, so the clients mayor may not be acutely ill (Lloyd, 1995). The role of occupational therapists in a forensic unit has been examined previously (Crawford and Mee, 1994;Lloyd, 1995) but their role within a PICU has not.…”

“…The fourth strand concerned OTs meeting the needs of work and leisure. The importance of the role of work and leisure is unquestionable and Lloyd (1995) argued that it is the role of the OT to ensure that needs are met in this domain. The fifth strand related to OT and user opinion, in which Seymour & Monks (1998) described a study of the views of residents in secure settings.…”

This paper reports on research undertaken to identify if common areas of multidisciplinary training exist in the literature. The literature that specifically focused on training issues in forensic practice (mental health) was located and reviewed by coding analysis. Thirteen common areas were identified and approximately 250 content items were acknowledged. A 'forensic lens' model was established to provide a framework in which multidisciplinary training could be located. Further research is promulgated to establish the actual importance of each training area for specific forensic disciplinary groups.
