Perspectives on Disability and Rehabilitation: Contesting Assumptions, Challenging Practice

Front Cover
Elsevier Health Sciences, 2006 M02 24 - 216 pages
It explores issues that are central to rehabilitation, such as the nature of the body, the idea of independence, the rehabilitation process, evidence-based practice and client-centred practice. Seeking always to ground theoretical ideas in the realities of every-day rehabilitation practice, and drawing from a wealth of research evidence, the book continually examines the implications of these perspectives for the education, practice, service delivery, research and theoretical development of the rehabilitation professions.
  • Provides an accessible introduction to current theoretical perspectives on disability
  • Demonstrates how these theoretical perspectives can inform a practitioner's approach to rehabilitation
  • Relevant for all the rehabilitation and health care professions
