Abstract
Date Presented 04/19/21
Although therapeutic use of self is considered an integral part of mental health OT practice, little is known about how life experiences may serve to influence its development. Qualitative phenomenology was used to explore perspectives of six experienced mental health OTs about life experiences and use of self in practice. Findings from this study contribute to the understanding about how we integrate what is learned in our lives to our professional work.
