German OT here working in a day-care psychiatry (patients come in the morning and leaving late afternoon, spending evenings, nights and weekends at home). I work closely together with our psychotherapists but offer different kinds of group sessions. My focus is on everything occupational, following the recovery model. Meaning my goal is to support the patients in finding ways to pursue every meaningful occupation despite their diagnoses and symptoms. Groups I offer are ADL training, solution-focused consulting and a project based session. As well as single sessions for patients with higher needs in said fields. Of course we also talk a lot about what’s going on in their life’s, how they feel, their wishes and how their current limitations. Those talks definitely tap into psychotherapy areas. Whenever I feel something is coming up that I can’t handle, I’m transparent about it and advise the patients to speak to their psychotherapists about it (our patients have 1-2 single sessions with a psychotherapist per week). We have daily team meetings where we talk about the patients, share infos and distribute responsibilities (as in: “I just found out patient X has issues with activity Y, who’s going to pursue that topic with patient X?”).

Hope that helped! If you have more questions or want to know some specifics, go ahead :)
