Abstract
This paper presents a concise definition of occupational therapy incorporating a theoretical concept which, it is suggested, provides the essential underpinning for the profession. It is further suggested that occupational therapists should become more disciplined in dealing with the health problems of patients. General guidelines considered necessary for effective practice are also outlined.Keywords
