Abstract

This commentary presents three arguments of Potterian thought from an occupational therapy perspective in order to support reflections on the development of sustainable practices in occupational therapy. In this way, it introduces occupational therapists to a global bioethical perspective that can support them in implementing an ecosystemic approach that respects the environment.
