Part 1 of this article explores how occupational therapists use the terms occupation, purposeful activity and activity. A literature review of the topic is presented, followed by a personal reflection and definition. It is hoped that this will provide an illustrative example of how the terms could be used and may assist occupational therapy students and occupational therapists to appreciate the potential differences. It is suggested that the terms occupation and purposeful activity should be used to reflect more accurately what occupational therapists do in their professional practice.
