                  1. Undervalued, underapreciated and unknown
                    1. Other professions not knowing what OT can do
                      1. They don't understand what makes OT unique and believe other professions do the same job
                      2. OT doesn't sell itself
                        1. Leading to lack of confidence

                          1. Posts not being replaced

                          2. Lack of role definition
                            1. OTs are doing generic role/ care coordinator
                              1. SUs are on OT caseloads without specific OT needs
                            2. Recovery model (London MH models of care)
                              1. Holistic approach
                                1. Focus: recover a meaningful life, instead of finding a cure and eradicating symptoms

                                                              1. The profession lacks confidence in itself and its relation to psychiatry
