Abstract

The goal of this reflection is to revise the new features of the work on a global level and an attempt to actualize or, in such a case, to restate the concept used in occupational therapy, as well as the professional duty from this perspective.

There are many proposed concepts about what work means, not only in occupational therapy, but also in many disciplines. Nevertheless, in spite of inter-disciplines efforts to keep one standing concept, the world's new tendencies impel to restate, and almost to remake, traditional construction.

In this sense,  it has been commonly assumed the work as a dimension round about to which to develop our duties; nevertheless, such executions are in clear contradiction with global reality, taking into account the generalized tendency for reduction and laborer precariation, named for many "the end of work".
