This article contains an account of references to occupational therapy as they occur in five works of popular literature. These works are On Death and Dying, by E. Kubler-Ross; The Cracker Factory, by J. Rebeta-Burditt; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by K. Kesey; I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, by H. Green and Beyond All Reason, by M. Coate. The author does not attempt to discuss the validity of these accounts, but rather presents them as indicators of a type of publicity which has been given to the profession of occupational therapy.
