The home care therapist must create an occupational therapy program that stimulates the participation of the patient and the caretakers. This case study demonstrates the pervasive influence of culture on the patient's volitional, habituation, and performance subsystems. Careful analysis of human and nonhuman cues guide the therapist's goal and treatment decisions. As a participant observer, the therapist has the opportunity to enter the patient's world, adapt treatment to suit the patient's needs, and make occupational therapy a vital part of the recovery process.
This article demonstrates the use of historical research to improve present allied health practice. The relationship between social values and the emergence of occupational therapy during the progressive era (1890-1920) is explored. This energetic period of history provided an opportunity for physicians to assume social, moral, and scientific leadership in a society that longed for expert solutions to complex social problems. At the turn of the century, occupational therapy, physical therapy, medical social work, and speech therapy all expanded the influence of the physician's expertise. Occupational therapy was originally developed to care for chronically impaired individuals. The relationship established between the physician and the therapist over 75 years ago still influences the status of both professions today.
