Description
Zuzana Rodova, Petra Petrova, and Vladimir Rogalewicz survey European occupational therapists about sensitive client activities in a 2026 study across thirty-two countries. The field uses the label dark side occupations for meaningful activities that carry ethical or social controversy, such as sexuality or addiction-related behavior. Therapists in four European regions answered closed questions about how often such topics arise, plus open questions about avoided topics and the label itself.
Sensitive topics came up far less in Central and Eastern Europe, and somewhat less in Southern Europe, than in Western and Northern regions. Many therapists avoided topics in advance rather than refusing them outright, shaped by culture, workplace climate, and professional boundaries. Views on the label split between useful and stigmatizing.
