In Part I of this article, which appeared in last month's AJOI', AOI'A President Robert K. Bing examined the founding principles of occupational therapy developed and published in 1925, and offered comments from some pioneering occupational therapists that helped determine how the principles were enacted in practice. This month in Part II Bing continues with more comments from the profession's ...

Living forwards, understanding backwards.

Making room for grief: walking backwards and living forward.

In this paper, the authors describe an aspect of a program of research around grief and clinical practice. The first phase of the study involves examination of experiences of grief with attention to troublesome or problematic beliefs that fuel the extent of suffering in the bereaved. The data, obtained from a review of videotaped clinical interviews with families seen in the Family Nursing Unit...

Backwards Forward Induction

In this paper we isolate a particular refinement of the notion of Nash equilibrium that is characterized by (i) the fact that it provides a unified framework for both backwards and forward induction; and (ii) by the fact that it is mechanically computable. We provide an effective procedure, whose definition embodies certain given principles of rationality. Such a procedure allows us, given a re...

Forward Analysis for WSTS, Part I: Completions

Well-structured transition systems provide the right foundation to compute a finite basis of the set of predecessors of the upward closure of a state. The dual problem, to compute a finite representation of the set of successors of the downward closure of a state, is harder: Until now, the theoretical framework for manipulating downward-closed sets was missing. We answer this problem, using ins...
