Mental Health

Hello,

We are conducting an international study on the use of the psychodynamic and psychoanalytic models in occupational therapy within mentalhealth.

Led by the Reflection Group on Occupational Therapy in Mental Health (Groupe de réflexion sur l'ergothérapie en santé mentale - GRESM) and Gaelle Charlot (french OT), this research aims to explore how these approaches are understood and applied across different countries and cultural contexts.

We have reached out to all member associations of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, the members of The Occupational Therapy Hub, ant the OT on linkedin, and we are now seeking to gather additional perspectives.

If you are an occupational therapist working in mental health within the English-speaking community, your insights would be highly valuable. Please feel free to contact me to contribute to this work.

Every perspective matters in shaping a more comprehensive and global understanding.

Dear colleagues,

We are occupational therapists involved in the Mental Health Reflection Group of the French National Association of Occupational Therapists.

We are currently reflecting on the place of the psychodynamic conceptual model and psychoanalytic theories in occupational therapy practice in mental health. As practices and theoretical frameworks may vary greatly across countries, we would be very interested in learning more about your experiences and perspectives.

We would be grateful if you could share your thoughts on the following questions:

1. Which conceptual models are most commonly used in occupational therapy practice in mental health in your country?

2. Are psychodynamic models or psychoanalytic theories used in occupational therapy practice in your context?
