Holismo: una perspectiva transversal para la Terapia Ocupacional

The article highlights the importance of a holistic perspective in occupational therapy as an alternative to the reductionist approach imposed by the biomedical and neoliberal models. Occupation is presented as a central element of human identity, inseparable from its physical, social, and emotional context. Through pragmatism and transaccionalism, the constant interaction between theindividual and their environment is emphasized. Tools such as yoga and mindfulness are integrated, contributing to neurological, physical, and emotional development. These practices enhance skills like self-regulation, flexibility, and resilience, promotingoverall well-being and reinforcing a person-centered approach. Supported by neuroscience, they offer practical strategies for fostering integral health. The article concludes by advocating for a shift toward a humanized and interdisciplinary healthmodel, where occupational therapy plays a key role in improving quality of life and well-being through meaningful and holistic interventions.
