Powerful Occupational Therapists examines the life and times of a
small group of occupational therapy leaders and scholars in a
post-1950s America, to market their profession as one of increasing
importance. Participating in the 1950s rehabilitation, the 1960s
equal rights, and the 1970s women's movements, these innovators,
being primarily women, aimed to define themselves as having
professional and scientific authority that was distinct from the
male-dominated medical model. The community of therapists faced
challenges such as that of retaining the appearance of being
"ladylike" whilst doing "unladylike" tasks. This book describes the
personal experiences of 12 differing occupational therapists and it
identifies how a group of them strengthened and developed the
profession in the face of diverse challenges. This volume would be
of interest to those studying occupational therapy, women and
medicine and the history of medicine. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Occupational Therapy in Mental
Health.
