title: Methodology for teaching theory in occupational therapy basic professional education.
abstract: This article proposes a methodology for teaching theoretical concepts to undergraduate occupational therapy students. The methodology is based upon a learning theory and three conceptual models of psychosocial dysfunction. It is suggested that such a method will help students to understand theoretical principles and to develop the ability to apply these principles to treatment. This method has been used successfully by the authors in classroom instruction.
