Medical, Psychosocial and Vocational Aspects of Disability

This book was specifically designed as a medical text for students in rehabilitation education. The book contains 33 chapters written by physicians and/or related professionals and covering all of the traditional "medical" topics, plus newly designed areas such as: the physical exam, medical terminology, sexuality and disability, AIDS, coping strategies and more. All chapters address the importance of the vocational implications of each medical condition, especially as the condition relates to the world of work. This resource is current in its research and information, and a lasting reference for the practicing rehabilitation professional.
