ABSTRACT

In this invited commentary we respond to Sy, Bontje, Ohshima, and Kiepek’s (2020) article that sought to articulate how drug use, as a ‘non-sanctioned’ occupation, should be understood in relation to the context within which it occurs; specifically, they consider the distinct historical, cultural, and socially situated values within which drug using in the Philippines occurs. We advocate for a collaborative approach that draws on the interdisciplinary value that occupational science can afford, in order to support the establishment of a comprehensive occupational perspective. Further, we consider this work in relation to Twinley’s concept ‘the dark side of occupation’, upholding that an occupational perspective of drug use is crucial.

En este comentario que se nos solicitó respondemos al artículo de Sy, Bontje, Ohshima y Kiepek (2020). Este se propuso plantear la forma en que el consumo de drogas, como ocupación “no autorizada”, debe entenderse en relación con el contexto en el que se produce; concretamente, los autores dan cuenta de los distintos valores situados histórica, cultural y socialmente en el contexto de los cuales se produce el consumo de drogas en Filipinas. Abogamos por un enfoque colaborativo que aproveche el trabajo interdisciplinario que puede aportar la ciencia ocupacional, a fin de contribuir al establecimiento de una perspectiva ocupacional integral. Además, consideramos este trabajo en relación con el concepto de Twinley “el lado oscuro de la ocupación”, sosteniendo que es crucial una perspectiva ocupacional en torno al uso de drogas.

在本受邀评论中,我们回应Sy、Bontje、Ohshima和Kiepek(2020)的文章。该文章力图阐明如何在理解吸毒(一种“非认可”生活活动)的时候,将它与发生的具体情况相联系; 具体而言,他们考虑了菲律宾使用毒品所依据的独特的历史、文化和社会价值。 我们提倡一种合作方法,该方法利用生活活动科学可以提供的跨学科价值,以支持建立全面的生活活动视角。 此外,我们认为这项工作与Twinley的概念“生活活动的阴暗面”有关,坚持认为吸毒的生活活动角度至关重要。
