This lecture was given at the College of Occupational Therapists' Annual Conference at Loughborough University of Technology on 17 July 1992. The theme combines personal views about the opportunities and threats currently facing the profession along with consideration of personal strategies for coping with change and how the education of students can help prepare them for the future. The text was accompanied by graphic representations and personal photographs of ‘adventuring’, together with posters prepared by second year students at Queen Margaret College as part of the health psychology syllabus.
