Meyers Beliefs
Man is holistic. 3 characteristics:sense of time, capacity for imagination, need for occupation. Learns by experience/doing to achieve quality of life. Need to balance occupation,work,play. OT provides opportunities vs prescriptions which treated as objects vs person. Focus on body has a whole including mind and parts of body and if that commitment was not there the idea of holist is compromised.
