Introduction Evidence-based practice is an increasing demand in occupational therapy (OT), although multiple barriers can hinder the translation of research knowledge into practice. The article illuminates the transformation of results from a randomised controlled trial into a practice development project with future practice implementation in mind. Method A case study was carried out, consisting of a comparison of the US randomised controlled trials (RCTs) Lifestyle Redesign® and the derived Danish practice development project. Results The study showed how results from RCTs of Lifestyle Redesign® were transformed into a practice development project with intentions to implement the programme in a Danish context. The modifications of the US RCT into a practice development project in Denmark compromised the study’s scientific execution. The practice development project was used to legitimise the intervention within OT locally by testing an evidence-based intervention, without using associated scientific tools and without considering barriers and facilitators for implementing the project in clinical practice. Conclusion Research design compromises in practice development projects may have implications for the internal and external dynamics of professionalisation processes regarding OT and the recognition of OT as a scientific discipline and an autonomous profession, nationally and internationally.

Background: This paper discusses a writing for recovery narrative practice development project based on Deleuzian theoretical principles. Creative writing was based on a formulation of ‘recovery’ as transcending the social invalidation, discrimination and abusive effects of institutional psychiatry. Aims and objectives: To provide a safe space for participants to explore the creative writing process To reduce participants’ anxieties about creative writing To enable a supportive environment to explore and discover individual writing voices To help participants work towards recovery and personal and social meaning through creativewriting Methods: By drawing on principles from the humanities and the use of creative writing techniques we were able to harness the individual and collective creative writing process. The aim was to facilitate the development of individual and group re-storying recovery identities, removed from perceived or actual institutional mental health expectations. Results: The principal output from the group was the publication of an anthology of participants’ work. New friendships were made in a community of recovery writers in the process of re-storying identities, and there was evidence of growth in participants’ self- and social confidence, supported by testimony from their significant others. Conclusions: Recovery community resilience and individual self-confidence can be developed through the medium of creative writing. It enables participants to explore and develop new, more viable identities in a safe space, sharing and working through experiences of social injustice, anger, fear and betrayal. Implications for practice: A rejection of values-based or evidence-based practice allows for a revised understanding ofrecovery, paving the way for narrative-based approaches As a model of such a revised understanding, Writing for Recovery enables participants to explorenew, more viable identities and come to terms with traumatic past events A challenge for mental health staff embracing Writing for Recovery is to acknowledge that onestrand of participants’ traumatic past is institutional psychiatric treatment
