- Title
Sacred texts: A sceptical exploration of the assumptions underpinning theories of occupation.
- Authors
Hammell, Karen Whalley
- Abstract
The article explores some of the core assumptions that inform current occupational therapy theory, and determines whether these are culturally specific or have supporting evidence. It was found that occupational therapy's entrenched assumptions reflect specific rather than universal perspectives, and that many meaningful occupations cannot be categorized as self-care, productivity or leisure.
