Designed to fill a gap in the literature, Psychosocial Aspects of Rehabilitation: Enhancing Outcomes Through Compassionate Practice demonstrates how the relational aspects of healthcare impact patient outcomes, provider burnout, and healthcare costs. Underscoring the importance of therapeutic alliance and compassionate care, the textbook well prepares future physical therapy providers to deliver the best care for their patients and avoid professional burnout.
The book features cutting-edge research that shows how relational skills have measurable and quantitative effects on patient outcomes. Dedicated chapters address trauma-informed care, compassionate care, structural and social determinants of health, motivation and adherence, self-destructive behaviors, accessible environments, and more. Readers learn how to assess and mitigate provider biases, manage difficult clinical situations, and create a sustainable career in physical therapy.
Psychosocial Aspects of Rehabilitation is an exemplary textbook for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) programs as it incorporates the American Physical Therapy Association Vision Statement, current evidence from the field of physical therapy, and topics found in the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education 2024 Standards and Required Elements.
