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.

I agree with Terrie - being a generalist is a double edged sword but what drew
me to OT in the beginning!

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!
