Two forces are converging, creating conditions both challenging and potentially fruitful for occupational therapy. The profession's knowledge base describing occupation is growing exponentially. At the same time, functional outcomes of intervention are being increasingly valued within the health care environment. Other professions imitate and claim our areas of expertise in the most flattering and dangerous ways. To benefit from the convergence of these forces, occupational therapy must expeditiously translate understanding of occupation into powerful occupation-based practice. Three bridges must be built: a generative discourse, demonstration sites, and effective education. The occupational design approach offers important conceptual tools with which to rapidly build these bridges to powerful practice. Described here are subjective and contextual dimensions of occupational experience, elements of the occupational design process, and how these factors produce therapeutic power through the appeal, intactness, and accuracy of interventions.
两种力量正在汇聚，为职业治疗创造了既具有挑战性又可能富有成果的条件。该专业描述职业的知识库正在呈指数级增长。与此同时，在医疗保健环境中，干预的功能结果越来越受到重视。其他专业以最令人欣慰但又危险的方式模仿并声称拥有我们的专业领域。为了从这些力量的汇聚中受益，职业治疗必须迅速将对职业的理解转化为强大的基于职业的实践。必须搭建三座桥梁：生成性话语、示范场所和有效的教育。职业设计方法提供了重要的概念工具，可用于迅速搭建这些通向强大实践的桥梁。这里描述的是职业体验的主观和情境维度、职业设计过程的要素，以及这些因素如何通过干预的吸引力、完整性和准确性产生治疗力量。
