In Times of PEACE Restores Men, Women and Children to Health INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS Accidents in industry and civilian life usually far exceed the casualties of war. For twenty-five years, there has been an increasing use of occupational therapy as a means of lessening disabilities resulting from accidents and of reducing the time lost through such injuries. Curative workshops provide treatment centers for whole communities serving patients of insurance companies, hospitals and individual phy- sicians. After the war the place of occupational therapy in the civilian medical program is assured. Occupa- tional therapists who have had experience in service hospitals will qualify for many interesting and re- munerative positions in civilian institutions. VARIED USES The wide application of occupational therapy and the variety of its fields of usefulness make it a most satisfying profession. Students who have specialized in clinical psychology find opportunity for practical application of their knowledge in directing occupa- tional therapy for mental diseases and nervous dis- orders. State, city and private hospitals have large and suitably equipped departments where patients are treated by occupation in activities ranging from manual or fine arts through college extension courses, to industrial procedures. The occupational therapist is responsible for setting up a normal pro- gram of work and recreation gauged to the needs and abilities of the individual patient. There is abundant opportunity and challenge for the use of imagination, initiative and resourcefulness. In treatment of the tuberculous, occupational therapy reconciles many patients to prolonged rest. The patient is gradually returned to useful activity by carefully planned and administered work treat- ment. Diversional therapy speeds the convalescence of patients in general hospitals. Furniture repair and antique reproductions give constructive activity for long time hospital cases. Programs of occupational therapy for crippled and handicapped children are definitely educa- tional, as well as useful from the standpoint of pre- scribed exercise. Work with the blind is a highly specialized and challenging field. SALARIES Army and Navy salaries range from approximately $1800 to $2500. Civilian positions pay from $1500 to $5000. Specially constructed toys motivate exercise for crippled children.
