This article includes a response to their warnings, but instead of using song lyrics, I use quotes from the works of William Shakespeare. First, I counter their concerns specific to the debate about what recreational therapists should call themselves (i.e., recreational therapists or therapeutic recreators). Second, I acknowledge and respond to Dustin and Schwab's concern that the RT profession lacks the research needed to stand on its own within the larger health care community. Finally, I respond to their warning to the profession to be careful in choosing a home for RT within institutions of higher learning. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: commentary Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
