A New Approach to Coping This workbook provides more than 50 questions and exercises designed to empower those with physical loss and disability to better understand and accept their ongoing processes of loss and recovery. The exercises in Coping with Physical Loss and Disability were distilled from ten years of clinical social work experience with clients suffering from quadriplegia, paraplegia, amputation, cancer, severe burns, HIV/AIDs, and neuro-muscular disorders arising from accidents, injury, and disease. About the Author Rick Ritter, MSW, a disabled veteran and social worker, has worked with more than a hundred clients who have experienced physical loss and disability. This workbook is a distillation of the very best questions and exercises to draw the client towards re-taking control of their life. He has competed in international events for disabled athletes. Ritter was also a major contributor to "got parts? An Insider's Guide to Managing Life Successfully with Dissociative Identity Disorder." He currently resides in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Series Info "Coping with Physical Loss and Disability: A Workbook" is the second book in the "New Horizons in Therapy Series." This series is specifically designed to empower clients to work on their own in a therapeutic setting. As many therapists will state, it's often what the client does outside the session that can make the biggest difference in recovery. What People Are Saying This workbook is a very good stimulus for focusing on issues
that are crucial for better coping with loss and disability. Just
putting the questions with the blanks together is a great
opportunity for self-reflection and might greatly help people raise
their consciousness. As I believe the saying goes 'If you do not
help yourself, then no one will be able to help you.'" "Ritter provides a valuable self-care plan for those suffering from the loss of physical capacity. He also shows readers how to find the mental, emotional and spiritual encouragement critical to the healing process." -Georgiann Baldino, Author and cancer support-group facilitator "Losing one's bodily integrity or functioning ('physical loss')
provokes mourning and a distorted self-image. The horror and recoil
that disabilities elicit in the healthy only compound the victim's
sense of deprivation and worthlessness. Though slender, the
workbook is indispensable to victims of physical loss, their
nearest and dearest, medical staff, and psychotherapists or grief
counselors." "Rick Ritter captures the depth of the emotional pain in the
aftermath of physical loss and disability. This workbook format
will surely provide a sense empowerment to those who feel helpless
in these situations." "I found the workbook useful in addressing the various aspects
of the physical loss. The examples given by the author are very
relevant and will help the sufferer relate to similar situations. I
recommend the workbook to those who are trying to heal from past
traumas or to those who are trying to help their near and dear
heal."
This workbook provides more than 50 questions and exercises

Disability" were distilled from twenty-five years of clinical
social work experience with clients suffering from quadriplegia,
