Inscriptions of therapist-patient relationship in the occupational therapy field

Abstract

Reflecting about the relationship between therapist-patient in the contemporary occupational therapy field, we identify practices and concepts that set up innovation and events that open spaces in a multiplicity of life territories. In occupational therapy the relationship between therapist-patient is inscribed in a complexity field in which questions related to human suffering demanding studies and interdisciplinary knowledge. It suggests a craft and gradual construction of practices and local knowledge. Occupational therapists are acting in disfunctions that are manifested in different life areas of human beings that for many reasons were blocked to continue forming narratives lines potencialized by life experiences. The theoretical and reflective contents here developed establish interconections to contemporary practices in which shared compositions by patients and therapists orientate the construction of an ethics that crossed all moments of these meating.
