In occupational therapy, Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) and Person- Environment- Occupational Performance (PEOP) Model are two fundamental frameworks. MOHO was developed from 1960s onwards by Dr. Gary Kielhofner, which was the first occupation- based model to explain occupation and occupational problems, while PEOP is a client- centred and top- down model, focusing on the relationship between individual, group and community since 1980s. In this essay, these two models will be compared and contrasted in regard to their basic assumption, components and application.
To begin with, MOHO and PEOP have different basic assumption. For MOHO, its basic assumption is a dynamic system theory. Human have input and output in their life, and through the doing dimension of occupation, their behavior will depend …show more content…
It also highlights the relationship between organism and environment. Moreover, PEOP is dynamic and reciprocal which include human throughput between one’s input and output.
Furthermore, components of MOHO and PEOP are different. Firstly, the concept of an individual is different. For MOHO, it sees human as a thinking carrier. MOHO describes the subsystems of a person as volition, which includes personal causation, values and interests, habituation and performance capacity. But for PEOP, according to Baum, C. M. and Christiansen, C. H. (2005), it describes person as the combination of many functional factors, including physiological, cognitive, spiritual, neurobehavioral and psychological (p.246). Secondly, the view of occupational performance is different. MOHO sees the components of one’s occupational performance is step by step, which are skill, performance, participation, occupational identity, occupational competence and occupational adaptation, and it is unidirectional. But for PEOP, the components can affect each other and have interaction. Person as intrinsic factor and environment as extrinsic
