This easy-access guide summarizes the dynamic specialty of
rehabilitation psychology, focusing on real-world practice in the
medical setting. It begins by placing readers at the frontlines of
practice with a solid foundation for gathering information and
communicating effectively with patients, families, and staff. The
book's topics run a wide gamut of patient conditions (neurological,
musculoskeletal, cardiovascular), related problems (sleep and
fatigue issues, depression) and practitioner responses (encouraging
coping and compliance, pediatric and geriatric considerations).
Models of disability and adaptation, review of competency concerns,
and guidelines for group and individual therapy offer
evidence-based insights for helping patients manage their health
conditions, benefit from rehabilitation interventions, and prepare
for their post-rehabilitation lives and activities. Coverage
spotlights these core areas: *Basics and biopsychosocial
practicalities, from behavioral medicine and psychopharmacology to
ethical and forensic issues. *Populations, problems, and
procedures, including stroke, TBI, substance abuse, transplants,
and severe mental illness. *Assessment and practical interventions
such as pain, anxiety, cognitive functioning, and more.
*Consultation, advocacy, and interdisciplinary teams. *Practice
management, administration, and professional self-care. *Research,
technology, and program evaluation. Practical Psychology in Medical
Rehabilitation is an essential professional development tool for
novice (and a refresher for veteran) psychologists and
neuropsychologists, as well as rehabilitation physicians, nurses,
therapists, psychiatrists, and social workers. It presents in depth
both the hallmarks of the specialty and the nuts and bolts of being
a valuable team player in a medical setting.
