Titre :	Respecting global wisdom: Enhancing the cultural relevance of occupational therapy’s theoretical base
Type de document :	texte imprimé
Auteurs :	Karen Whalley Hammell, Auteur
Année de publication :	2015
Article en page(s) :	p.718-721
Langues :	Anglais (eng)
Mots-clés :	Models of occupation  colonialism  culture
Résumé :	Dominant models of occupation that inform the international occupational therapy profession have been delineated predominantly by able-bodied, middle class, middle-aged, white, urban, North American Anglophone academics with Judeo-Christian backgrounds, thus reflecting the culturally-specific perspectives of a global minority. Because these models exclude priorities and occupations valued by the global majority, they are demonstrably inadequate. This opinion piece highlights the imperative of incorporating the wisdom of a diversity of global peoples into occupational therapy’s theories of occupation to enhance the possibility that the profession’s theories and practices will be culturally relevant, safe and inclusive, rather than ethnocentric, imperialistic and potentially irrelevant.
