The formation in occupational therapy: between the ideal and the real

Abstract

This theoretical study aims at discussing the process of idealization of the profession, by students of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, in confrontation with the reality of practical experiences, relating this question with the formation of the occupational therapist. For this discussion were used as reference studies on the identity and training in Occupational Therapy, transversality theory and production of subjectivity. Indicates that the idealization of Occupational Therapy, how will be built in the training process, can be determinant of the quality of the actions in the reality of care. It proposes to consider training as an open space, multivector, which can produce differentiations, trials, state natural modes of existence, emphasizing the importance of the teacher-student relationship in the process.
