Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| As an anthropologist, a major area of my work has been the study of stories in health care. Interest in narrative has grown tremendously over the past several years in all the health professions, including among physicians. Stories can be especially relevant for occupational therapists because it is often through hearing stories that people learn what it is like for someone to live with disability. And the stories people tell also give many clues about what they care about, what matters most in their lives. This is important because when occupational therapy is most effective, it connects treatment interventions to those areas of deep concern to clients. A second area of my own work has been the study of how clients, families, and clinicians work together - or run into problems trying to work together - in the practice of rehabilitation. I have been particularly intrigued with how collaboration occurs across large cultural divides, that is when clients and therapists come from very different cultural worlds but must find some kind of common ground in order to work together toward goals. Finally, I have written extensively about clinical reasoning in occupational therapy, especially the role of narrative in the thinking of occupational therapists, the kinds of stories they tell about their clients and the influence of stories in helping therapists devise treatment approaches tailored to individual clients and their particular needs and strengths. | |
