Occupational therapy and complexity

Occupational therapy and complexity

Defining and describing practice

This publication aims to describe and define contemporary occupational therapy, and explores, expands and illustrates the unique complexity of the profession. 

It is clearly based upon, but goes beyond, previous work in this area and sets this within contemporary health and social care contexts.

It describes current occupational therapy based on data drawn from reports of, and reflections on, occupational therapy practices; generates a model of contemporary occupational therapy that describes and explains the components; identifies and explains how occupational therapy aligns with the concept of complex interventions; it also considers and suggests terminology and language to aid with practice, research and other work involving consideration of occupational therapy. Occupational therapy and complexity: defining and describing practice is an essential reference point for all occupational therapists and students, and provides useful guidance for all working in partnership with occupational therapy.
