Hello: The following message was posted to the list last night. While I am the person who actually sent the message to the list, I did not write it. The message was written by [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Because her message was sent from a different address then what she is subscribed as, the message was bounced to me. I then forwarded the message to the list. Remember the OTlist is a closed list meaning you can only post messages from the address in which you are subscribed. Thanks, Ron <<<<<<<<<<<< [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s original message >>>>>>>>>> We are the only profession that I know of that spends 24/7 debating who we are. Other professions just do and let their behaviors speak for themselves. No discipline is pure. We all trip over each other. OT case managers look like social workers; mental health practitioners look like psych people; some OTs look like recreational therapists; some look like PTs; and so on... OTs will always look like someone else, because the public looking at us cannot see "occupation." No one is qualified to judge other OT's by what one visually sees. Who is to say that the OT who looks like another discipline is not also centering his/her practice on "occupation?" PTs are clear about what they do, and yet at the same time they decided that they can do ADLs, cognitive disabilities, occupation, etc., while still doing PT things. If someone feels that the profession of OT has an identify crisis, they should not enter it. Studies show that people gravitate to the things that are most like themselves and with which they have a level of comfort.
