The idea of occupation is proposed as the basis for constructing a curricular renaissance for occupational therapy in preparation for a new millennium. Implementing an occupation-centered curriculum could create a more integrated profession in which practice, ideas, scholarship, and education nurture and support one another, increasing the autonomy of both the occupational therapy profession and recipients of its services. A practice-oriented rationale for curricular design includes explication of the idea of occupation, a view of the person as an occupational being embedded in that concept, and the thought process of occupational therapy. Recommendations are provided to create an integrated curriculum that will contribute to future-oriented practice and a self-defined profession.
职业的理念被提出来作为构建职业治疗课程复兴的基础，为新千年做准备。实施以职业为中心的课程可以打造一个更加整合的专业，在这个专业中，实践、理念、学术和教育相互滋养和支持，从而提高职业治疗专业及其服务对象的自主性。课程设计的实践导向性原理包括对职业理念的阐释、将人视为融入该理念的职业人的观点以及职业治疗的思维过程。文中提供了一些建议，以创建一个有助于面向未来的实践和自我定义的专业的整合课程。
