To what end are occupational therapists to be occupied?
Frank Kronenberg ist ein deutscher Referent. Der Workshop findet in einer Mischung aus deutscher und englischer Sprache statt.
This workshop adopts a ‘jam session’ pedagogy, appreciating that group learning is superior for higher-order thinking, application of knowledge, and developing social-emotional skills. The key to ‘jamming’ (learning) together is the title which urges us to interrogate the ultimate purpose of our profession: to what end occupational therapy is to be occupied?
Importantly, in order to live up to our mandate and to flesh out the untapped potential of occupational therapy (OT), we will distinguish between OT as an idea and OT as a profession. Additionally, we will foreground not our professional identity but our we-dentity as occupational beings.
The origins and evolution to date of occupational therapy will be critically appraised, to better position ourselves to envision and plot towards serving the occupational needs of the increasingly troubled local and global societies where we find ourselves.
Instead of departing from medical diagnoses-based occupational needs of individual clients, historically wounded relations between groupings of humans who together are to make up our societies will be foregrounded.
This shift of our main concern requires new ways of languaging who we are (identities), what we know (epistemologies) and do (practices). Concrete practice examples of such emerging practices from around the world will be shared.
