Helene J. Polatajko On this the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, I thought it fitting to go back and read the first editorial published in our journal. The editorial, written by Dr. Goldwin Howland, physician, and then President of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy, is oddly apropos today. Notwithstanding the language usage of the day and the context of the times, the issues raised and the path laid out ring surprisingly true today in 2013. I am pleased to have the first page of the editorial reproduced for you here below. I invite you to go online and read the rest. I am also pleased to present you with a guest editorial written for you by Dr. Judith Friedland, an occupational therapist, a historian, and author of Restoring the spirit: The beginnings of
occupational therapy in Canada, 1890-1930. For this 80th anniversary issue, Judy graciously agreed to write a guest editorial that provides us with a glimpse of the path that took us from 1933 to 2013. Thank you ever so much, Judy, for sharing your insights and your wisdom. Looking back often gives us the clearest direction for going forward.
