Practice analysis: Critical reflexivity on discourses constraining socially transformative occupational therapy practices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Statement of context: Despite recognition of the potential of occupation for enacting social transformation, occupational therapy continues to struggle in developing and enacting practice approaches that address sociopolitical barriers to people’s right to engage in occupations. Critical reflection on practice: Ways of thinking and writing about problems and solutions, that is discourses, shape occupational therapy practices. This article draws attention to three dominant discourses that constrain the development of occupational therapy practices aimed at social transformation, specifically, individualism, healthism and managerialism. Implications for practice: Examining discourses that bound occupational therapy practice can open spaces for alternative ways of thinking and more socially responsive practices addressing sociopolitical barriers to occupation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
