Interesting topics that are related with Occupational Therapy

My career is very versatile because we have subjects from many areas, like biology, psychology, bioethics, sociology, ecology, body expression, psychiatry, etc. This give us a very global vision of the way that we have to intervene in the future.

An interesting topic that we are laerning of is "body expression". In this class we experience different techniques wich principal objetive is to "let the body speak for it ones".

One of this techniques is an activity, like a rol playing, were the participants have to walk as if they were real models, so they need to have a very self-confident attitude. The purpose is that the participants achieve to overcome their fears of been exposed, that is why it´s use in patients that have bad self-steem or are very shy.

This kind of therapys are a different way of treating ill people and it could be very interesting for them, increasing their motivation.
