PSYCHIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY: SOME ASPECTS OF ROLES AND FUNCTIONS
Abstract
Psychiatric OT cannot function successfully as an independent unit. Its existence in the hospital environment has very little meaning without the comprehension of and the close coordination with the psychiatric staff. Without such coordination psychiatric OT can at best do little more than keep patients occupied. With an understanding of and full utilization of the potentialities inherent in this type of therapy, the value to the patient is limited only by the skill and resourcefulness of the psychiatric staff and the occupational therapists.
