Analyzing and Critiquing Occupational Therapy Practice Models Using Mosey's Extrapolation Method

Pages 193-205 | Accepted 27 Oct 2009, Published online: 22 Jun 2010
 

ABSTRACT

Over time, there has been a persistent gap between theory and practice in occupational therapy. In this paper, it is suggested that this gap could be decreased by enhancing therapists' knowledge and understanding of the nature of theory. Mosey's (1996a) 9-step extrapolation method of developing theoretical conceptual practice models is proposed as one way of improving clinicians' understanding of the structure of theoretical conceptual practice models and knowing how to analyze and critique them to determine their usefulness in specific clinical contexts. This understanding will hopefully translate into increased utilization of theoretical conceptual practice models to guide every day practice.
