Rehabilitation practitioners face the difficult task of helping
clients adjust to chronic illness or disability. This can be a long
and trying process for both practitioner and client. With this
handbook, however, practitioners and students can gain a wealth of
insight into the critical issues clients face daily.
This book presents the dominant theories, models, and
evidence-based techniques necessary to help the psychosocial
adjustment of chronically ill or disabled persons. Each chapter is
written from an evidence-based practice (EBP) perspective, and
explores how important issues (i.e., social stigma, social support,
sexuality, family, depression, and substance abuse) affect persons
adjusting to chronic illness and disability.
Key features include: A review of psychopharmacological
treatment options for depression, anxiety, and other disorders
coinciding with rehabilitation The effect of rehabilitation on the
family, including key family intervention strategies Strategies for
using positive psychology and motivational interviewing in
rehabilitation Multiculturalism and the effect of culture on the
adjustment process Ancillary materials including an instructor's
manual with a syllabus, examination items, PowerPoint presentation,
and answers to class exercises
By incorporating research-based knowledge into clinical
rehabilitation practice, health care professionals can ensure that
people with chronic illness and disability receive only the best
treatment.
