Work has been at the core of occupational therapy for the last seven and a half decades. The tenets of work, which include providing a way of making a living and giving meaning to one's existence, have remained consistent throughout occupational therapists' use of work in the treatment of physical disabilities during three eras: World Wars I and II, the era of industrial therapy, and the work-hardening era. Although technological advances and economics have changed the scope of work, it is evident that the work-hardening programs of today have their roots in the work cure of the early 1900s.
在过去七十五年里，工作一直是职业治疗的核心。工作的宗旨，包括提供一种谋生方式并赋予人生意义，在职业治疗师治疗身体残疾的三个时代中始终如一：第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战期间、工业治疗时代以及工作强化时代。尽管技术进步和经济状况改变了工作的范畴，但如今的工作强化项目显然起源于20世纪初的工作疗法。
