My 2 cents:
The problem is that there are many OT's who ONLY focus on 'occupation as end'
and justify all their non-occupation internventions ('means'') because they
will enable occuaption. The problem is , in reality, that is usually the goal
of other disciplines too (ie, PT)...it is our use of 'occupations as means'
that makes us unique...

Glad to see some activity again. I prefer the phrase "end product" instead
of "by-product". I do not see a harm in viewing occupations as the "ends" of
our interventions (of course, ideally would like it to be the "means" as
well). Joe Wells
