Occupational Life

Unlike play, work is activity that has to involve significant expenditure of effort and be directed toward some goal beyond enjoyment. The term ‘work’ is also used to signify an individual’s occupation, the means whereby they gain their livelihood. In modern market economies individuals contract to work for other individuals on specified terms. Beyond noting this formal freedom to choose how one shall work, critics of market economies have maintained that one’s occupation should be a realm of substantive freedom, in which work is freely chosen self-expression. Against this unalienated labour norm, others have held that the freedom of self-expression is one good among others that work can provide, such as lucrative pay, friendly social contact and the satisfaction of the self-support norm, and that none of these various work-related goods necessarily should have priority over others. Some philosophers place responsibility on society for providing opportunities for good work for all members of society; others hold that the responsibility for the quality of one’s occupational life appropriately falls on each individual alone. Finally, some theorists of work emphasize that performance of hard work renders one deserving of property ownership (John Locke) or enhances one’s spiritual development (Mahatma Gandhi).

Life Skills Program

The purpose of the study reported here, was to determine that the Occupational Therapy Life Program, instituted in a community home for five psychiatric patients during a three month period, was an effective mode of treatment, and as a result, whether Occupational Therapy has a role in community psychiatry. The study was instituted in a co-operative home established by the Kingston Psychiatric Hospital on September 15, 1976. The study was based on the life skills performance of five psychiatric patients, discharged from the hospital directly to the co-operative home. The Occupational Life Skills Training Program was evaluated during four test periods using three assessments: activities of daily living, group functions and leadership acts. The results of the analysis of the data showed an increase in all life skills throughout the treatment period. The study revealed that the Occupational Therapy Life Skills Program discussed is an effective form of treatment for the community co-operative home members. Therefore, the assumption could be made that Occupational Therapy has a role in community psychiatry.

Distressing Condition

Restless legs syndrome is a distressing condition, with negative effects on sleep and daytime activities that affect personal, family and occupational life. The overall impact of restless legs syndrome on quality of life is comparable to that of chronic and frustrating conditions such as depression and diabetes. Misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment may increase patients' suffering in terms of uncertainty, overuse or misuse of care services and lack of trust. Presenting a synthesis of the main topics in the literature on restless legs syndrome facilitates for a better understanding and its management in primary care settings.
