Ocupación y salud
Indagando sobre las pruebas para adoptar una perspectiva ocupacional de la salud, Wilcock argumenta que la Ciencia ocupacional tiene la capacidad de mejorar la condición humana y el medio ambiente reuniendo las diversas evidencias que se generan en muchos ámbitos que abordan aspectos de la ocupación y la salud. La posibilidad surge de la naturaleza holística del campo, que comprende los propósitos y resultados de la naturaleza ocupacional de los …
Una teoría sobre la necesidad humana de la ocupación
Este artículo aborda la ocupación como un aspecto central de la experiencia humana; aduce que la ocupación satisface necesidades humanas básicas que son esenciales para la supervivencia, proporcionando los mecanismos para que las personas ejerciten y desarrollen capacidades innatas de carácter biológico, social y cultural para adaptarse a los cambios ambientales y para prosperar como individuos. Sin embargo, las necesidades ocupacionales básicas …
Occupation and Health
Addressing the question of what evidence there is for taking an occupational perspective of health, Wilcock argues that occupational science holds potential to improve the human condition and the environment by bringing together the diverse evidence being generated in many fields that address aspects of occupation and health. This possibility arises from the field's holistic nature, which encompasses the purpose and outcomes of humans’ occupation…
Occupationaljustice and Client-Centred Practice
Background. This paper describes an ongoing, international dialogue about the relationship between occupation, justice, and client-centred practice, prompted by the question: How do occupational therapists work for justice? Methods. The authors critically reflect on their own dialogue and culturally situated interests, dialogues with workshop participants, and a literature review. Results. Four cases of occupational injustice are proposed: occupa…

Making Sense of What People Do
History, viewed afresh from an occupational science perspective, yields unexpected sources of thought and data for social planners to make sense of what people do now and in the future. This keynote address introduces and considers stories from history, primarily of the Western world, that tell of different ways people have made sense of the things they do over time, particularly in terms of their mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. H…
Occupational utopias
The paper reflects on the historically recurring theme of Utopia. It does so from the perspective of the occupational nature of the types of communities envisaged or established in the past. It reviews the ideas of visionaries such as Thomas More, but also the manifestations of practical utopians, like Robert Owen, credited with being the father of British Socialism, and Octavia Hill, a pioneer of housing schemes for the socially disadvantaged as…
Occupation for Health
The notion that occupation influences people's health extends far back into human history. Using a history of ideas methodology, this paper examines one aspect of that history—the Regimen Sanitatis. Developed at the time of classical Greek medicine, the regimen is a set of rules for healthy living that were influential from the 12th to the 19th centimes. In particular, those rules that address what people should do or not do in order to sustain o…

The occupational brain
This paper, which was presented at the18th Federal and inaugral Pacific Rim Conference in Hobart, Tasmania July 1995, proposes a theory of human nature based on the idea that humans are occupational beings and that indeed the human brain can be described as an occupational brain. Based on the idea that the brain is primarily concerned with healthy survival, it argues that there is a three way link between survival, health and occupation, in that …
A theory of the human need for occupation
This paper discusses occupation as a central aspect of the human experience. It argues that occupation fulfils basic human needs essential for survival, provides the mechanism for people to exercise and develop innate capacities of a biological, social and cultural nature, to adapt to environmental changes, and to flourish as individuals. However the basic occupational needs of people have been obscured by the current complexity of occupational t…
Fritz Loewe 1895–1974
Dr Fritz Loewe, geographer, meteorologist and glaciologist, left Germany after the rise of Nazism, and established in Melbourne the first University Department of Meteorology. He brought to Geography in Australia a wide personal knowledge of some of the great men of German Geography, wide scholarship, and the inspiration of his own outstanding energy and courage
