Summary :
Occupational therapy has historically developed as a reaction to the institutionalisation of medical practice : as well as prioritising remediation or correction it added patient empowerment to its approach.

Relying on Michel Foucault’s work and our own practical experience with homelessness children, we are proposing an evolving form of occupational therapy, adapted to the challenges of the future, free from the constraints of traditional therapeutic frameworks.
