I just stumbled across this today and found it illuminating.
"Occupational therapy grew out grew out of efforts by psychiatrists following World War I to find ways of helping soldiers with mental illness experience a sense of well-being through meaningful activity.
Occupational therapists help people with a disability, or physical or mental health problems, to live as independently as possible. They assess their clients' skills and needs before deciding what treatment they require. Often, they will help clients to carry out simple tasks that most people take for granted, such as washing and dressing."
