- W294115981 abstract "The spiritual dimensions of occupation are explored using a dynamic systems model to address the interrelationships between spirit-mind-body-world. A deeper appreciation of the wholeness of human occupation emerges within a spiritual paradigm reflecting the fundamental complexity, nonlinear processes, and pattern flow formation of dynamic human occupation. Emergent perceptions about life-meaning, purpose, and identity are understood through the model of intention, meaning, and perception, influencing the system-wide changes that occur during spiritual occupation. Viewing spiritual occupation as both the creative process (means) and as engagement in spiritual activities (ends), which sustain and support life and health, affords a nonlinear view of the spiritual dimensions of personal growth through the process of self-organization and self-transcendence. Thus, facilitating a deeper conceptualization and understanding of human beings. Dynamic systems modeling of broad and deep spiritual occupations further validates the theory and practice of occupational therapy by addressing the full complexity of occupation as an embodied process of spirit-mind-body and world. Introduction Within the philosophy of occupational therapy, human beings have been recognized as nonlinear dynamic systems, albeit, this premise is poorly established in the profession due to the historical use of linear concepts and research methods within the medical model. Nonlinear dynamics has only recently been explored as a model for studying the complexity and inherently creative and spiritual essence of the therapeutic relationship, and the dynamics of human occupational experience (Lazzarini, 2004). As occupational therapists strive to facilitate self-organization and positive change among dynamic human systems, understanding of occupation as a complex process involving spirit-mind-body-world, is required. A dynamic systems model enhances the ability to offer quintessentially person-centered practice and assist therapists in considering, explaining, and researching the full potential, meaning and efficacy of occupational therapy services. The science of nonlinear dynamics offers a profound way of conceptualizing and studying the dynamics of human occupation. With its roots in mathematics and modern physics, nonlinear dynamics has become a meta-paradigm offering a scientific method for deepening our understanding of how human beings self-organize, change over time, and ultimately self-transcend (Abraham, Abraham &. Shaw, 1990; Haken, 2002; Kelso, 1999). Nonlinear dynamics has been applied extensively in the life sciences to illustrate the patterns that emerge from open, living, far from equilibrium systems (Capra, 1996; Kelso, 1999; Prigogine, 1996); while affording the ability to study the inter-relationships and inter-dependence by which complex patterns of behavior emerge. Thus, providing a framework in which to explore how local interactions give rise to self-organization, pattern formation and system-wide change. In the words of Ilya Prigogine, we are observing the birth of a science that is no longer limited to idealized and simplified situations but reflects the complexity of the real world, a science that views us and our creativity as part of a fundamental trend present at all levels of nature (1996: 7). This paper will explore the importance of applying nonlinear dynamics in occupational therapy practice and propose that a nonlinear approach will enable the recognition of spiritual occupation as fundamentally creative, life supporting, and embodied; significantly influencing self-organization and self-transcendence. Spirituality and life meaning Spirituality and occupational therapy Occupational therapy has, from its philosophical roots, addressed human occupation and the spirit-mindbody-world (Lazzarini, 2004; Meyer, 1921/ 1977) as a dynamic, emergent, and experiential process through which people create meaning. …" @default.
