Description

Medical and Psychosocial Aspects of Chronic Illness and Disability, Third Edition details the medical aspects of common chronic illness and disabilities as well as discussions of how these conditions impact functional capacity, and psychosocial and vocational aspects of individuals’ lives. The text covers the medical aspects of those medical conditions commonly encountered by rehabilitation and other health care professionals, and thoroughly discusses the symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, and prognoses. Furthermore, the text is organized in a body systems approach, thus enabling readers to grasp commonalities of various conditions involving a certain body system. With topics ranging from the physically disabling, to conditions of psychiatric disability and addiction, Medical and Psychosocial Aspects of Chronic Illness and Disability provides the knowledge necessary for health professionals to adequately assist individuals in altering and adjusting their daily life to accommodate their illness or disability.
