Three Views of Artful Practice in Psychosocial Occupational Therapy

Abstract: This qualitative study explored artfulness in the psychosocial practice of three occupational therapists through in-depth observation and interviews. Analysis focused on the therapist-client relationship, activity use, self-reflection, and the change process. Each therapist established an interpersonal connection while offering meaningful, engaging activities. In addition, each brought a distinct and unique personal view to treatment. Findings suggest that the art of practice in occupational therapy is constru… Show more

“…Schmid [1] highlighted the capacity of creativity for being beneficial to health and well-being, an understanding that was considered important for occupational therapists to focus on. CaI can be used as a 'creative space' for creative thinking as a means to adjust and endure [63,64]. Such a 'creative space' facilitates an altered understanding of situations and circumstances, thus opening up possibilities for both individual and social change [31].…”

“…This was an expected result, because the use of reflection allows practitioners to review the impact of interventions and interactions and use their analysis to change their future practice and outcomes (Epstein, Siegel, andSilberman 2008, McConnell et al 2012). According to Weinstein (2013), when occupational therapists use self-reflection it promotes competency and problem solving to improve patient outcomes. This research suggests that the OCIA could be used as a reflection tool for students while on fieldwork experiences.…”

“…However, current workforce trends suggest that many occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants are choosing not to enter into this area of practice (AOTA, 2015b;LaGrossa, 2008) and those that do often experience burn out and ultimately leave these settings (Scanlan, Meredith, & Poulsen, 2013). The relative absence of occupational therapy practitioners in mental health settings has led to unintentional consequences (Weinstein, 2013). In many states, for example, occupational therapy practitioners are no longer recognized as qualified mental health providers (QMHP; LaGrossa, 2008) and many mental health jobs which were previously held by occupational therapy practitioners have been phased out or are now assumed by other practitioners (Gutman, 2011).…”

“…The AOTA has encouraged continued practice in mental health through many efforts, including the development of task forces and workgroups, as well as the dissemination of several official documents (LaGrossa, 2008;Weinstein, 2013). For example, Specialized Knowledge and Skills in Mental Health Promotion, Prevention, and Interventions in Occupational Therapy Practice (AOTA, 2010) was developed by the Mental Health Competencies Ad Hoc Committee to describe the specialized training and practice expectations for entry-level occupational therapy practitioners, and Occupational Therapy Services in the Promotion of Mental Health and Well-being was adopted by the AOTA Representative Assembly Coordinating Council in 2015 (Kannenberg, Amini, & Hartman, 2015).…”
