Subject: Re: [OTlist] Client without goals

I have two comments/questions.
Ron, I think the other thing that I thought of with your patient is  
about when she said she wanted to be normal. Could she tell you in any  
way what normal was to her? I think I would have tried to use that as  
a starting point to find out what she thought she was lacking.

Neal and Ron, I think hope/faith/whatever term you want to use like  
this is very important. I am always careful not to share my specific  
beliefs, especially when I don't know the patient's background or  
belief system. I think talking about hope, personal satisfaction/ 
stability (can't actually think of the word I'm looking for here) is  
fine but that recognizing the validity of other people's belief  
systems is also very important. I don't see my role as an OT including  
testifying to someone about my personal beliefs. It's just dangerous  
ground in my mind.

Respectfully,
Mary Alice
