| Summary: | The article aims to present the critical foundations underlying the Occupational Therapy practice
construction in Chile and Latin America. Although the manuscript has a theoretical/conceptual development, it is
the result of the tension emerging from daily practice. The results presented have the political intention of inviting
occupational therapists to identify a chain of common knowledge, applicable in various fields of the discipline
role. The work’s scope should be sized as a small bibliographical discussion of a much broader and deeper stream,
however, it offers us various inputs for practice and theory and research in Occupational Therapy. In conclusion
we can identify a number of theories, methodologies and techniques used in the practice of occupational therapy
that are not clearly identified as a particular perspective from Latin America, which is the manuscript proposal,
inviting to a deeper discussion .
