Episode 3: Core Values & Philosophical Tensions
from Preserving Our Past, Informing Our Future · host Sydney Stevenson
In episode 3 of Preserving Our Past, Informing Our Future, Dr. Reed and the host explore how early influences like moral treatment, humanism, and the Arts and Crafts movement shaped the profession's values, while external pressures pushed it towards the medical model. Together, they unpack the enduring tension between these perspectives and consider how that dynamic continues to shape the way occupational therapy defines what is truly therapeutic. This series was created as a part of my OTD capstone project in collaboration with the Blagg-Huey Library at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, TX.Faculty Mentor: Lou Ann Hintz, PhD, OTRAgency Mentor: Esther Garcia, MLS For more information about OT history, visit otleaders.org
