During the first 100 years of occupational therapy, the profession developed a
remarkable practice and theory base. All along, technology was an active and core
component of practice, but often technology was mentioned only as an adjunct
component of therapy and as if it was a specialty.
This lecture proposes a new
foundational theory that places technology at the heart of occupational therapy
as a fundamental part of human occupation and the human experience. Moreover,
this new Metaphysical Physical-Emotive Theory of Occupation pushes the
occupational therapy profession and the occupational science discipline to
overtly consider occupation on the level of a metaphysical-level reality. The
presentation of this theory at the Centennial of the profession charges the field
to test and further define the theory over the next 100 years and to leverage
technology and its role in optimizing occupational performance into the future.
