The Parallels Between Canadian Model of Human Occupation and Model of Human Occupation

CMOP-E focuses on spirituality as the core drive, balancing physical, cognitive, and affective abilities, while MOHO breaks down volition into values, interests, and personal causation. Hao also touches on the practical applications of these models in various settings, including critical care, and their relevance to the psychological and physical aspects of occupational therapy. The discussion concludes with a note on the importance of using these frameworks to guide practice and foster communication within the profession.
