Inhabiting the art´s and the occupational therapy´s fields: theoretical courses and reflections

Abstract

The people's attendance developing artistic activities in the Occupational Therapy practices, stimulated a curiosity about the relationships among this actions and the promotion of health. As we move through the universe of Arts from the Occupational Therapy´s slant we expirenced interdisciplinares practices and researched authors that indicate resonances among these fields in their theoretical propositions. In this article we told how this process happened, we presented some theoretical bases that sustain our practice and reflection and the nearness stages that we could identify from the accomplished studies. This material is part of a theoretical chapter of my doctorate thesis, that comes to enlarge the studies of the activities and therapeutic resources and supplies a new theoretical consistence to the teaching of the artistic activities in the Occupational Therapy.
