This second part of a two-part article examines the representation of occupational therapy during its formative years, 1917-1925. It focuses on the image of the profession as it was described in the early professional journals and compares this image with that projected by the media (as described in Part I). Both the media and professional literature presented a similar image of occupational therapy: that of a profession that offered the promise of returning persons with disabilities to useful occupation within society. In today's health care system, where every profession espouses the goal of returning patients to full functioning, it is important to remember that in 1917 only one profession held that goal. The portrayal in the media and in the professional literature of occupational therapy at that time confirms this image.
这篇分为两部分的文章的第二部分，审视了职业疗法在其形成期（1917年至1925年）的呈现情况。它聚焦于早期专业期刊中所描述的该专业形象，并将这一形象与媒体所呈现的形象（如第一部分所述）进行比较。媒体和专业文献都呈现了职业疗法的相似形象：即一个有望让残疾人回归社会并从事有益工作的专业。在当今的医疗保健系统中，每个专业都拥护让患者恢复全面功能这一目标，重要的是要记住，在1917年只有一个专业持有该目标。当时媒体和专业文献中对职业疗法的描绘证实了这一形象。
