Abstract
In this second article of a series of four, the competency approach is debated and its application to different medical and commercial organisations explained. The relevance of the approach to the understanding and clarification of occupational therapy clinical practice is discussed. The critical incident technique, as a method of collecting meaningful descriptions of what occupational therapists do to enable the identification of competencies, is considered among others.
