I do agree but think I prefer the term holistic, we all have techniques or approaches we may specialize in but as OTs we look at the complete picture and balance not just one component. This makes us very effective and able to intervene in many varied a case or situation.
Jennifer McLaughlin, MOT, OT/L Occupational Therapist Cokesbury Village Methodist Country House -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Mary Giarratano Sent: Wed 3/7/2007 5:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OTlist] PT practice language I agree with Terrie - being a generalist is a double edged sword but what drew me to OT in the beginning! Mary -----Original Message----- I almost hate to say this, but what is unique about OT is the fact that we (dare I say it) are "Generalists" to some extent. That means we address not just one component of function but the various components....or at least that is what I thought we were taught to do. My opinion is that one day the medical comminity will wake up and see that all they need are OT's! -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
