Over the past decades, numerous occupational therapy frameworks have been published and adopted in the West but there is little discussion of their applicability to Singapore. The purpose of this study was to examine the relevance and applicability of occupational therapy frameworks in Singapore. Data were gathered from nine highly experienced occupational therapists. Audio-taped semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Qualitative methods were used in identifying five themes--independence, applicability of client-centred practice, concepts of occupation/activity, client's areas of concern, and application of occupational therapy models to practice. The themes were discussed in the context of three broad areas: (1) the potential discrepancy between occupational therapy's philosophical base and clients' values, (2) mismatch between the occupational therapists' prescription of activity and the meaning of activities to clients, and (3) the potential conflict between the occupational therapy approach and the corporate culture in Singapore. One of the important results from the study was that in Singapore culture, clients generally did not believe that achieving independence was important and they expected to be taken care of by their families. Further research with a larger sample is necessary to explore how culture and societal values impact on occupational therapy practice in Singapore.

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing focus in the occupational therapy literature on theory and theoretical frameworks. This paper explores the confusion that surrounds some of the terminology used In this literature. The disparity between different theorists' use of terms such as model, paradigm, frame of reference and approach is highlighted. An analysis of major occupational therapy texts and articles on theoretical frameworks from 1962 to 1992 revealed four types of occupational therapy model. The author suggests that attempts by theorists to define terms have been as much an attempt to describe these models as to clarify terminology. A hierarchy of these models Is proposed and the Individual's role in Interpreting and filtering models Is also considered.This article is reprinted from the Australian Occupational Therapy Journal (1994) 4~, 115-122, by kind permission of the author and

“…He recognised the need for new models to be developed to cover those areas of clinical concern that were inadequately addressed by existing models of practice. Mocellin (1992), for his part, suggested that 'there are real problems associated with the universal acceptance and applicability of a CUlture-specific clinical model of practice' (p55).…”
