Occupational therapy is a treatment that requires patients to do something purposeful, particularly tasks that enable them to express their feelings. Art therapy, in which patients express themselves through painting, sculpture, pottery, and the like, has been particularly successful. Almost all psychiatric clinics or units have an occupational therapy department. The activities typically take place in groups so that personal relationships can develop. Tasks may range from agricultural or simple manufacturing work to crafts such as basketwork or model-making. Research Occupational Therapy
