    2. Mary Reilly – Occupational Behavior Retired Captain Mary Reilly ’51, a distinguished USC professor who gained international renown in the late 1960s for her groundbreaking insights into occupational behavior. Reilly is considered by many to have been the voice of democracy for her profession, broadening its focus to make it truly responsive to the occupational needs of the American people. During World War II, shiploads of maimed soldiers arrived in rehab hospitals across the country, and occupational therapists helped them get back to a meaningful life. After the war, “OT became more and more medicalized,” recounts associate professor Diane Parham. The rise of “science” in the medical model, she notes, also drove sister disciplines like nursing toward measurement of physical details and observable behavior. “It was Mary Reilly who said: ‘Hey everybody, wake up. We have to get back to the idea of why our profession exists,’” Parham says. “She moved the whole profession of OT away from simply looking at physical details about an individual client, and back to the idea of using time to be engaged in meaningful activity.” And it was Reilly, now retired and living in Fairfield, Calif., who boldly declared occupational therapy to be one of the great ideas of the 20th century. http://www.usc.edu/dept/pubrel/trojan_family/winter01/therapy/excellence.html
