| Sumario: | This article aims to develop a conceptual review on part of the theoretical and epistemological foundations of Occupational Therapy. This discipline is experiencing, in recent decades, a greater openness towards the socio-anthropological perspectives of the health-disease-care process. By positioning itself on various notions that support professional practice, such as activities of daily living, independence or balance, an anthropological approach is incorporated that questions the habitual uncritical uses that tend to standardize daily behaviors and define pathologies and anomalies from positions ethnocentric. Consequently, theoretical-methodological guidelines are formulated that support a hybrid approach to the profession and, furthermore, to the field of collective health. This way of thinking about socio-sanitary problems allows us to propose renovating positions of disciplinary and professional cultures that face increasingly complex challenges in our contemporaries. |
