049 – Meaning and Occupational Engagement




Occupied show

Summary: <br> This is an emerging topic for me. It’s something for which I’ve seen a correlation for many many years. Now is the stage in my career where I’m starting to explore this more in-depth. Meaning is arguably the most important aspect of a person’s occupation. Yet, in my experience, it is also one of the most neglected or least understood areas of our practice. <br> <br> <br> <br> This episode I wanted to take some time to reflect on my thought process and how “meaning” has evolved over my career. <br> <br> <br> <br> I make reference to an article during the episode that has recently provided me with some food for thought around this:<br> <br> <br> <br> Morris, K., Cox, DL. (2017) Developing a descriptive framework for “occupational engagement” Journal of Occupational Science 24 (2), 152-164 <br> <br> <br> <br> Would love to hear your thoughts on “meaning” and how you see it relating to occupational therapy!
