The relationship between occupation and identity has received increased attention in recent years. This article explores the usefulness of the construct of occupational identity as measured by the Occupational Performance History Interview (OPHI‐II) in understanding the evolving narratives of three men living with AIDS who participated in a vocational rehabilitation program. The narratives of the three men are described and the impact of AIDS and an attempt to return to work on each individual's occupational identity is discussed. Narrative slopes are presented for each of the three men. Directions for future research are suggested.
