About the desire for difference: considerations concerning the relation between occupational therapists and the population traditionally assisted by them

Abstract

This paper is constructed based on the idea that the new direction of occupational therapy practices results from the occupational therapist's ethical and political commitment with the population assisted by this professional. In this sense, it proposes to think about this population, trying to create a transversal vision that goes from the population and excluding processes to the production of singularities and different ways of lives.
