I've been posting extensively on chronic pain management from a biopsychosocial perspective, but primarily enlarging on the psychosocial aspects of pain management. My background is occupational therapy with a hefty dose of psychology, and I work both as a clinician and educator in pain and pain management. It would be great if you'd consider including me on your blogroll. cheers Bronnie http://healthskills.wordpress.com Hi there!

Like the Peabody? Does it get to where you don't even need to look at the directions? So in general have you felt that the more you use assessments, the faster you get at them? Like the Peabody?

We probably do less "reflecting" and more promoting. Anyway, blogs can fit many purposes.

I have come across those exact comments in relation to the ICF and have had the same thoughts. Sometimes I feel like screaming....What about Occupational Therapy?.... am glad its not just me! but it does make you wonder....judging by the comments on this post this is not an uncommon though! - so what are we or can we do about it? :) Thanks Cathy

It was as if there was a belief that prior to the ICF no one would adress the environmemt- and definately no mention of OTS specialising in this.Credit where credits due I say!!!!

I think for me I see the biggest issue as being that of lack of promotion! I'm not sure about the ownership idea - as often we've borrowed from others...but I do like the idea of welcoming those who are catching up but continuing to lead the way, talk about what we are doing, find ways of reporting on effectiveness etc - then people will start to talk about 'borrowing' from OT, rather than others saying- "hey - look what we've found all by ourselves....!!!" And us sitting there going - but we've always known this - its not new! And.... I really really like the question - 'Who's let us down here??????' Its absolutely us - we are so good at faciliating others to achieve their goals, but we don't seem to have been able to apply this skill to our own profession - why might this be???? Yay Jane!!!!!!
