Making the Invisible Visible: Theory and Treatment Specification in Occupational Therapy.
1Stacey Reynolds, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, is Professor and Director of Research, Department of Occupational Therapy, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond; reynoldsse3@vcu.edu.
Summary
Theory is crucial for advancing occupational therapy practice. Enablement theories connect interventions to client outcomes, improving rehabilitation treatment specification and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Area of Science:
- Rehabilitation Science
- Occupational Therapy Theory
Background:
- The role of theory in occupational therapy (OT) practice and rehabilitation is evolving.
- Current frameworks like the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) guide intervention development.
- Clearer distinctions between different types of theories are needed to advance practice.

Band Theory
17.2K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

The Atomic Theory of Matter

The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).
