Preface:
The purpose of this monograph is to introduce the Occupational Performance Model (OPM) (Australia) in its current stage of development. The structure of the model, as it is presented in this monograph, is not viewed as a new paradigmatic development but as an alternate representation of contemporary ideas about occupational performance. The inclusion of (Australia) in the title simply indicates the Model’s sociocultural derivation. It is not presented as a national model as, for example, is found in Canada. The development of this model has occurred over the last decade and isoutlined in Part 1 of this Monograph. The development of the model has been a circular theory-practice-theory process. Clinicians and clinical research have played a major part in how constructs in the model have been conceptualised. Therefore,Part 2 of this monograph contains examples of how the constructshave been applied. These examples are from a range of practiceenvironments. Occupational Performance has been applied todeveloping perspectives about the needs of various client populations, administration and education. The range of examples illustrate how occupational therapists apply theory to practice at varying levels of sophistication and complexity. Future OPM (Australia) monographs will contain more detail about each of the constructs as well as reflecting the on going work into the nature of processes within and between constructs.
