New Revolution Needed in RT
I have written about the first revolution in RT being the great growth in RT programs following WWII and the beginnings of professionalism. The second revolution in RT was when professionalism came about (See "A Third Revolution in Therapeutic Recreaiton?" in Austin, Dattilo & McCormick's Conceptual Foundations for Therapeutic Recreation published by Venture Publishing.)
These revolutions were lead by two generations of visionary individuals who established our exciting profession. Now we need a third revolution in which the profession clearly establishes its boundries -- and then rests its foundations on practice theories and research on RT's effectiveness as a clinical intervention.
Is RT to move forward to create a third revolution -- or have the efforts of those visionary professionals who established our profession been for not?
