Soziale Handlungskompetenz in der Ergotherapie

Acting in a social context is the basis of living together in society. The basis is formed by various skills that are acquired in the course of psychosocial development. Marlys Blaser summarizes these in the term social action competence, which is specifically ascertained and promoted in a client-centered and action-oriented occupational therapy. Social action competence integrates clients into their social environment. It becomes indispensable when traumatic events in life have to be mastered with good contact and support from a social environment. Practice-oriented and with many case studies close to the psychiatrically ill person, the textbook supports the assessment of resources and strengths as well as impairments and weaknesses. Social action competence is presented as part of a conceptual model for occupational therapy.
