The Education Series is one exciting new element of the museum's operation. EDITORIAL COMMITTEE This series should complement the many functions to which we have become Editor accustomed and already enjoy. We hope that as many members as possible will take Jennifer Jones advantage of these educational programs. This series is not intended to be a fund­ raiser, but rather an integral part of the benefits of membership at the Havre de Grace Contributing Editors Decoy Museum. Fundraising, of course, remains a necessary part of our daily Gail Carriere Chad Tragakis activities, and our special events calendar looks spectacular. Without the many C. John Sullivan fundraising events, we would be unable to maintain the museum and staff at their current level of excellence. The museum has established a General Operating Endowment Fund to enhance Contributing Writers the financial stability of the institution and provide financial security for the future. Jennifer Jones Brenda Dorr Earnings from the fund will be used to moderate dips in cash flow when the usual Kay Morrison Fred Gillotte, Jr. sources of income fail to meet the current needs of the museum. The endowment was A. Everette James, Jr. created with bequests made by museum members, as well as generous donations made by families and friends of recently departed members.

  • From the Wretched Laundry to a Lovely Solarium: the History of the Therapeutic Use of Occupation in Ireland, 1863-1970 by Bríd Dunne BA, MA, Mscot
    From the wretched laundry to a lovely solarium: the history of the therapeutic use of occupation in Ireland, 1863-1970 by Bríd Dunne BA, MA, MScOT A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Limerick. Supervisors: Dr. Judith Pettigrew & Dr. Katie Robinson Submitted to the University of Limerick, October 2017. Abstract Historical research can foster critical understandings of occupational therapy. It can facilitate greater appreciation of the context within which contemporary practice and assumptions developed, and can contribute to present day debates on the role of occupation within occupational therapy. This thesis aims to construct a chronology of the therapeutic use of occupation from the Moral Treatment era through to the mid-20th century establishment of the profession of occupational therapy in Ireland. It aims to use the emergence of Irish occupational therapy education as a means of understanding the professionalisation of the discipline. Finally, it takes an interpretative analytical perspective to situate the history of the profession in Ireland in broader social, political, and healthcare contexts. The thesis comprises four papers, each of which contributes to achieving the aforementioned aims. Paper I, a methodology paper, critically reviews literature on the use of historical documentary research methods in occupational therapy. It describes a practical strategy for selecting and appraising documentary evidence, and presents several theoretical and critical paradigms that can be used to interpret the meaning of historical documents. Furthermore, it establishes the value of interpretivism, which is the epistemological perspective taken throughout this thesis. Paper II reviews existing literature on the history of the therapeutic use of occupation in Ireland from 1863-1963 prior to the establishment of the first occupational therapy programme at St.
