Series II: World Federation of Occupational Therapists and foreign occupational therapy associations, 1972 - 1994
Series
Scope and Contents
The World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) was founded in 1952 by 10 founder associations. By 1992, the Federation included member associations from 43 countries. This series contains a number of issues of the WFOT Bulletin from 1987-1992. The Bulletin publishes reports from the WFOT committees and brief articles on occupational therapy practice by members from around the world. Most of the articles are in English, but after 1990, the bulletin began publishing articles in other languages, with English abstracts. This collection contains articles in French, German and Spanish. The series also contains several publications created by the 11th International Congress of the WFOT, which was held in 1994 in London. Included are abstracts of the professional presentations presented at the weeklong Congress, and three volumes of longer summaries of papers presented. Also in this series are single issues of several foreign occupational therapy association journals: Australian Occupational Therapy Journal (1972), The British Journal of Occupational Therapy (containing the Code of Professional Ethics of the British Association of Occupational Therapists, 1990), New Zealand Journal of Occupational Therapy (1991), and The Scottish Journal of Occupational Therapy (1992).
