This article presents the concept-exercise 'schizo-occupation' as a tool for the analysis of the institution 'occupational therapy'. Taking inspiration from the schizoanalysis and from the analysis of how occupational therapy as an institution is being built as a field of knowledge, the concept-exercise 'schizo-occupation' is not presented as a truth-attached Model that would rule techniques and/or procedures; on the contrary, 'schizo-occupation' seeks to work as a tool for an everyday analysis in 'occupational therapy'. The employment of this tool aims to make possible the coming up of ethical and political attitudes in a social-compromised profession, in a profession designed not to serve to any hegemonic interest. Hence, the concept-exercise 'schizo-occupation' will be taken to urge a kaleidoscopial view of activities, of models, of methods. This concept intends to provoke, to surprise the so-called activity-analysis. A provocation that hopes to work with innumerable looks, innumerable meanings of our so beloved 'occupational therapy'.
