Abstract

The present paper pretends to sail through the posibilities given by the notions about Being and Time developed by Martin Hei- degger, as a starting point for an ontological reflection about occupation, coherent with the Occupational Therapy practice. For this purpose, core concepts of the german author are revised and contrasted with the project widely accepted in the occupational therapists community, the occupational nature of the human being by Ann Wilcock. The discussion, in addition to focusing on the invitation to the occupational therapists to go deeper into the topic, encounters an evident synchrony between Heidegger’s dasein and occupation, both aspects that resonate in Wilcock’s notion of becoming.
