Asking howas a next step in avoiding dualistic perspectives on occupation: A response to Aldrich and Cutchin

ABSTRACTIn their article “Filling in the gaps: A case for enhancing Madsen and Josephsson’s assertions about occupation, situation, and inquiry”, Aldrich and Cutchin (2017) responded to our article “Engagement in occupation as an inquiring process: Exploring the situatedness of occupation” with the ambition to enhance our assertions on occupation. In this reply, we argue that their text does not address the main arguments of our article. We further argue that their response confirms that further steps in exploring the situatedness of occupation by asking howsituation and occupation are related is a necessary step in avoiding dualistic perspectives on occupation.
