title: Therapeutic recreation - a conceptual criticism.
abstract: This paper has been written as a contribution to the attainment of integration in the field of special recreation. It is an attempt to conceptualise recreation for the disabled against a background of the therapeutic model in order to stimulate debate on the matter. The intention of the argument is to present a description of therapy' and 'recreation' current in Australian society; to show that these concepts are fundamentally different to one another; and to conclude that the concepts cannot be combined in the manner demanded by therapeutic recreation.
