RE: [OTlist] what is OT?

Thank you Dr. Breines!! I now work in a hospital where I am the only OT they have ever had, and we get along just fine, and OT works. Peace, Pat

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.

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.
