    This study examined the contents of supervision needed by novice therapists to develop clinical abilities, focusing on their clinical experience and using an original evaluation table. An evaluation of clinical abilities basic attitudes, therapeutic skills, and clinical practice-related thoughts was conducted in 29, 21, and 9 therapists with clinical experience of 0-1 (1 year group), 1-2 (2 years group), and 2-3 (3 years group) years, respectively. On comparison of scores for the 55 evaluation items focusing on clinical experience, there were no significant differences in those for basic attitudes-related items among the 3 groups, while those for therapeutic skills-related items markedly varied between the 1 and 3 years groups. In scores for clinical practice-related thoughts-related items, significant differences were observed between the 1 and 3 years groups and between the 2 and 3 years groups. On comparison of scores among the items in each group, there were marked differences between those related to basic attitudes and clinical practice-related thoughts in the 1 and 2 years groups.

    This article specifically relates to the importance of treating PTSD among veterans with appropriate psychotherapies. This article relates directly to the work I am currently involved in at the VA as many of the patients I see struggle daily with PTSD symptoms. In addition, an interdisciplinary team approach is used at the VA and pt's and staff work closely with psychologist and psychiatrists to ensure appropriate care. In looking at this article it is important to see that symptoms of PTSD are treated appropriately and with the best means available.

    This article targets educators of generation Y, or those born between 1982-2000. The authors break down each aspect of the millennial generation including how to teach them, how to relate to them within an educational setting, characteristics such as working in teams, the misconceptions such as selfishness, and particularly how this all relates to professional behavior. In regards to professionalism this article focuses on that educators showed stress teaching observable behaviors, have explicit--black and white--communication style, and provide clear expectations to follow. All things that I would agree, I appreciate in the workplace.

    OTs are required ethically, legally, and professionally to evaluate deficits and meet the needs of their clients related to driving. It is the ethical responsibility of OTs to use current and accurate evaluation tools for data collection, and to work within our level of competence/expertise. We must strive to avoid harm; Driving may be a meaningful occupation, but it may cause heightened risk of harm for patients and the public. Identification of deficits that may effect safe driving obligates OTs to warn the patient and report their findings. In these cases, confidentiality is superseded by legal and ethical obligations.

    This article is the AOTA's position on how to set professional boundaries with patients. The article provides examples of ethical documents within the the profession of OT, such as the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics Standards. It then goes on to define professional boundaries and how to set them. Case study examples are provided for how to set professional boundaries, in a variety of contexts.

    This is a great article pertaining directly to ethics of occupational therapy practitioners in skilled nursing facilities. The article clearly defines each ethical principal outlined in the AOTA code of ethics and how they relate to practice. The article then has several case studies that give specific ethical dilemmas and solve the dilemma with evidence from the AOTA ethical principals. One specif case study explained how it was unethical to treat a family member to do potential violations of justice and fairness.

    The findings from this systematic review provide evidence for the attributes required by occupational therapists in work-related practice, but not specifically for entry-level practitioners. Well supported attributes included work injury prevention, management, including treatment and rehabilitation, communication, and professional presence. I think research into the preparation of occupational therapists for entry-level work-related practice in these attributes would add to our understanding of readiness for practice in this field.

    This article, published by AJOT in July 2006, is titled Occupational Therapy Activities and Intervention Techniques for Clients With Stroke in Six Rehabilitation Hospitals. As the title suggests, this article discusses various occupational therapy intervention strategies, as well as their effectiveness, for the treatment of patients with CVAs. Control of upper extremity exercises as well as activities of daily living practice were the most common form of occupational therapy intervention techniques utilized.

    I chose this article because I treat many CVA patients in my setting. I was curious to see how the typical VA treatments related to other hospitals with their treatments. The results were very similar. Mainly we work on functional activities and we add in some exercising to strengthen and further enhance the functional abilities.

    Article analyzed interviews with family caregivers for community-based elderly persons and suggested ethical dilemmas are an important organizing framework for family caregiving. The article explored this theory as it relates to the practice of occupational therapy with older clients and their families. Themes of ethical dilemmas in family caregiving and how they relate to occupational therapy were discussed. There is a need for therapists to work with family members to examine the ethical dilemmas of the caregiving experience and for the professional and the family caregiver to work together toward shared ethical decision making.

    This study was designed to explore the relationships between occupational engagement and the issues of self-related variables, psychiatric symptoms, and quality of life. It was found that individuals in higher levels of occupational engagement showed fewer psychiatric symptoms and improved quality of life. It is important for occupational therapists to provide support in successful engagement in various occupations for clients who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

    This article focused on the importance of having your heart, mind, and soul behind you and your profession in order to present professionalism within the occupational therapy field. The heart of professionalism in occupational therapy, focuses on doing Good Work and/or ensuring that what we are doing is right for us as well as improving another's life. The mind of professionalism in occupational therapy, this idea is centered around working to broaden the scope of knowledge within occupational therapy as well as providing EVP to your clients because they deserve more than the routine BUE exercises. Lastly, the soul of professionalism within occupational therapy, this involves collaborating with other individuals within the profession, critically evaluating, and brainstorming to ensure that the highest standard of practice is being used within the clinics. These three components are interwoven. Therefore, if one piece, the heart, mind, or soul is missing then the level of professionalism you portray decreases.

    This article explores the question of how as OT's we stay convinced that our work is, and can always be, right for ourselves just as it is good for the world. The author proposes the answer lies in how we understand and enact professionalism

    This is a really neat article. It personifies professionalism and puts a whole new meaning to it. It emphasizes the importance of it for our field and how it has evolved over the years. I like how it talks about professionalism can bring occupational therapists together and "nourish our convictions in the rightness of our work for ourselves and its goodness for the world." This article is written more like a novel and I think many people would enjoy the read!!

    This article provides an interesting perspective concerning professionalism in occupational therapy. In this article the author examines the importance of having your heart, mind, and soul as your driving force in order to demonstrate professionalism. The heart of professionalism involves a belief that what you do to better people's lives and society is so special that no amount of money could measure how important it is to you. The mind of professionalism involves the application of knowledge and expertise that enables a therapist to be empowered and inspired to utilize evidence within their everyday practice to better meet their patients' needs. Lastly, the soul of professionalism includes the special bond therapists have with one another and with their patients, focused on collaboration and creativity, in order to provide the highest quality of care to their patients.

    This article in The American Journal of Occupational Therapy sets out to describe professionalism and how it relates to the occupational therapy field and career. The author, Wendy Wood (2004), describes professionalism as an "ideal that encompasses widely held expectations of, and objective standards for evaluating, any field that calls itself a profession." She emphasizes how personal professionalism is and relates it to the heart, mind, and soul to illustrate its most crucial elements. She describes the history of the profession and how it along with professionalism has developed as the field has grown. Wood goes on to state that any field, occupational therapy included, which claims professional stature must be equally dedicated to developing it's "mind" and "heart." This just means that the body of knowledge must also continue to grow and develop as the profession grows. We must also grow as professionals who are interacting with one another. Wood (2004) states the importance of interacting with others in ways that are "honest, critically evaluative, and dedicated toward realizing a greater good."

    This article provides a guideline on how occupational therapists can understand and carryout professional behavior. The author breaks down professionalism in terms of "the vital elements" the heart, mind, and soul and how to apply these aspects in a professional manner. The author highlights the fact that professionalism is a process and grows over time.

    As we engage our hearts to do Good Work, strive to nourish our minds, and to cultivate the authenticity of our souls we can help make the field of occupational therapy stand out and be a pillar of professionalism. Wendy Wood's article is inspiring and is a good read to give you a little boost.

    The author's purpose of this article was to promote professionalism as heart, mind, and soul at all level so that all we do in the name of occupational therapy not only remains right for ourselves and good for the world, but also grows more so over time. He described professionalism as especially important for the well-being of individuals or of society at large, having a value so special that money cannot serve as its sole measure: it is also simply good work. The author was captured by the magic of occupational therapy as a counselor at a summer camp for autistic children, which was a truly inspiring story about how he fell in love with the profession. He emphasized how personal professionalism is; so personal, in fact, that he uses the metaphors of heart, mind, and soul to depict its most vital elements. Any field claiming professional stature must be just as dedicated to cultivating its mind as it is to nourishing its heart, as the two are wonderfully symbiotic. I loved this article, and it truly depicted the meaning of and what it means to be an occupational therapist at a personal level.
