OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY - POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR PREVENTING THE BREACH OF CRIMINAL LAW AND SOCIALLY REINTEGRATING OFFENDERS

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at giving a brief overview on occupational therapy, a less known branch belonging to health science, which focuses on improving the cognitive, physical and motor skills within the individual. For its obvious benefits, one would like to propose to apply this treatment to criminally convicted individuals in order to better achieve their social reintegration. In this regard, occupational therapy can increase the offender’s self esteem, so that, finally, his social reintegration could become successful. Therefore, current trends in occupational therapy are outlined and a short historical evolution of this branch of health science is also provided.
