Rehabilitation

Series: 101 Collection

In adult physical rehabilitation, the transformative learning theory presents the basis for a detailed model of Meaning Perspective Transformation in Physical Rehabilitation based on research evidence, with examples and cases, and presents directives for clinical applications.

Transformative Physical Rehabilitation: Thriving After a Major Health Event draws from the theoretical background of transformative learning in adult education (Mezirow) to discuss the expansion and transfer of knowledge to clinical rehabilitation and community health rehabilitation settings for rehabilitation interventions.

It also presents ground breaking findings of a fifteen-year research project on the process of meaning perspective transformation with client/patient groups. The project generated the first model of transformative change in the field of physical rehabilitation, built on the results of successive, externally funded research projects completed for the first time with various client populations undergoing interventions in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and other physical health rehabilitation disciplines.

The book is written for clinicians, educators, and students of physical rehabilitation, as well as for those who are interested in helping a loved one deal with personal change.

Reviews for Transformative Physical Rehabilitation: Thriving After a Major Health Event

This book attempts to understand how and why rehabilitation decisions are taken among caregivers and clients. Initially, the book is intended for healthcare practitioners, educators, and physical rehabilitation students, this book is also exceptionally beneficial for clients and family readers. (...) It incorporates case descriptions for in-depth understanding and adds an essential dimension of the rehabilitation profession to the well-known models in education and psychology. The book helps enlighten therapists on the importance of building a new self-identity with new forces, leading to independence and optimal functioning of the patients. (...) I highly recommend the [book], and encourage health care practitioners to read it and be enriched through its findings. -- Professor Navah Z. Ratzon, PhD, OT.
