RE: [OTlist] what is OT?

[Dr. Estelle Breines]

In 1955, Frieda Behlen taught me that “OT treats the whole person.”  Nothing has changed!     If everyone would spend their time advancing OT instead of reworking the same old dead horse, we’d all be better off   Go see your political representatives, or do some clinical research, or get a population hooked on promoting OT.  Forget about PT.  We are not in competition with them.  They have their own problems.   Dr. Estelle Breines       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Holmquist Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [OTlist] what is OT?     don't forget, if you are to use history to define OT one must look to the Hull House and the immense psycho-social influence that is largely lost in many practice areas of OT... just my two cents.
