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.

Hello,

I am a late diagnosed Neurodiverse OT also with a very Neurospicey family. The difficulties I have faced trying to get the right support for my children and struggling to find it prompted me to start working as an OT privately with both adults, young adults and children who are/ think they are Neurodiverse.

Neurodiversity is my favourite subject and I would love to connect with people who feel the same way.

Occupational therapists from secure inpatient services needed

Hello,

I am currently studying a master's in clinical research at Teesside university. As part of the programme, I am undertaking a qualitative research study looking into occupational therapists' experiences of vocational rehabilitation in secure inpatient services in England.

Hello everyone! I teach Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy to OTD students, and I’ve been reflecting on the persistent challenge of translating classroom knowledge into clinical practice.

In my classroom, we’ve moved beyond just textbooks, we use cadaver labs, tech applications, and integrated simulations to make the material as real as possible. However, I still see a significant struggle when students transition to the clinic. They can identify structures perfectly in a lab setting, but that confidence often disappears when they need to perform surface palpation or apply functional anatomy to a living, moving patient.

I’m curious to hear from the clinical educators in this group:

1. In your experience, where is the biggest knowledge drop-off between classroom preparation and actual clinical application?

2. Are there specific anatomical concepts (e.g., nerve pathways, joint mechanics) that students seem to 'lose' the moment they step into the clinic?

3. What can we do in the classroom…
