    Occupational therapists can help individuals in crisis by using "nuclear tasks." These specific activities promote problem-solving and adaptive recovery from crisis states.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational therapy
    • Psychology
    • Crisis intervention

    Background:

    • Crisis development is often linked to inadequate performance of life tasks.

    • Occupational therapists frequently encounter patients in crisis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define and explore the role of specific activities in crisis recovery.
    • To introduce the concept of "nuclear tasks" in occupational therapy for crisis management.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of crisis dynamics and occupational therapy interventions.
    • Definition and description of "nuclear tasks".

    Main Results:
