Résumé :	It has been one hundred years since the First World War (1914–18), the most devastating war in human history in terms of loss of life. At that time, war aides from Canada and restorative aides from Great Britain and the United States sought to improve the lives of service members who had evaded death, yet suffered great physical and emotional pain. Restoring the Spirit (Friedland, 2011) details the Canadian response—a defining moment for the nascent profession of occupational therapy. Practice emerged from the profession’s use of restorative occupations to promote healthy lifestyles and mental health. As service members healed, bedside occupations involving crafts diverted attention from pain and situation, increased self-confidence, and raised morale. Recovery of functional skills and eventual return to productive employment through vocational training programs were intended outcomes for service members.
