| Abstract | The purpose of the present study was to explore the use of craft activities occupational therapy treatment modalities in Norway during the period 1952-1960. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with six retired occupatonal therapists on their experiences in using crafts. Data were analysed through textual analysis and this resulted in four themes: craft activities identified as a therapeutic tool; ambivalence in how to frame the intervention; practice relative to power relationships; and occupational therapists and patients as equals. A limitation of the present study was that participants drew on their screened memories in die context of contemporary practice, which may omit or distort the historical truth. Further research is needed to document the effect of contemporary therapeutic use of craft activities, and to bring forward how occupational therapists and clients value the craft activities of today in the context of their lives.

| The craft activities could be a therapeutic tool for promoting work skills, joy in life, repairing or maintaining function in diverse parts of the body, or just giving the long days at the hospital a meaningful content, or a combination of all these. . | The production of craft activities was used to gain skills which were necessary to get a job, stimulating activity, earning money, being valued in society and increasing socialization. . | In their stories the participants related that craft activities were part of the social context at that time, and that it was important to use craft activities to evoke joy in life. . | It was also clear from the analysis that the actual act of producing objects was important, because the objects could be sold, to give the person and the institution some income: We delivered products to craft shops because one of the reasons for making them was to earn money. . | To succeed with this work there must be a market for the products. . |
