The Biopsychosocial model (BPS) is a multi-centered methodology that focuses on 5 areas of healing: psychoemotional-social, energetic, intellectual, physical and spiritual. (Garner 14). From a professional standpoint, the BPS model compliments Occupational Therapy extremely well.

According to the AOTA Framework: Domain and Process 3rd Edition, it defines OT Domain as achieving health, well- being and participation in life through engagement in occupations. The article also states that “Occupational Therapists recognize the importance and impact of the mind-body- spirit connection as the client participates in daily life”. The OT Framework acknowledges that OT focuses on the whole person versus isolated aspects of human function & therefore makes OT a distinct and valuable service. (AOTA S4). In an ever- evolving healthcare system, 

Occupational Therapists utilizing the MTY method can make a profound impact on patient well-being and outcomes across all settings.
