Many of the diseases people suffer from today are chronic and
degenerative (e.g. cardiovascular disease, adult-onset diabetes or
HIV/AIDS), and bring with them a range of psychological and social
issues. Health care practitioners do not cure these diseases, but
take care of their patients by helping them understand and live
with their conditions. Health, illness and disability: psychosocial
approaches addresses the need for health care practitioners to be
as skilled in working with and supporting people as in applying the
assessment, therapy and/or treatment techniques for which they have
been trained. Health, illness and disability emphasises a
multidisciplinary team approach. Relevant aspects of the text have
been illustrated with examples of indigenous South African
situations as well as those of other cultures. Discussion
questions, classroom exercises and/or home assignments have been
provided to facilitate learning and application of the material
covered. Contents include the following: Emotional reactions to a
disabling condition or disorder; counselling, family-focused
interventions, group work and community work; psychosocial issues
in TB, HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease and stroke; psychosocial
issues in chemical dependency; dying, death and bereavement; the
patient-practitioner relationship; multiculturalism, ethics and
psychosocial issues in stuttering, cerebral palsy and
autismpsychosocial issues in stuttering, cerebral palsyautism.
Health, illness and disability is intended as an academic text for
student health care practitioners, as well as teachers of children
with special educational needs, such as deaf learners. It is also
intended as a ready reference for qualified practitioners and
anyone interested in psychosocial approaches to health, illness and
disability.
