Book SynopsisEssential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy is an accessible introduction to vital concepts in occupational science for the occupational therapy practitioner or student. It invites therapists to view and understand their clients differentlyâby using an âœoccupational lensâ to focus on the lives of their clients as everyday doers. It addresses the key questions at the heart of understanding humans as occupational beings: What do people typically do? And, where, when, how, why, and with whom do they do it?These questions organize the key concepts from occupational science that form the first chapters of this book, enabling therapists to better understand their clientsâand enabling their clients to better understand the importance of occupation to their well-being. Additional chapters clearly describe how therapists can use occupation-based models to apply an expanded view of occupation and make evaluation and intervention more relevant and beneficial to their clients. A final chapter examines trends and lifestyle changes occurring in the 21st century to anticipate how these might impact future practice.Through use of engaging and thoughtful cases that illustrate many of the concepts, this guide will help practitioners clearly understand their clients as doers, while also providing enhanced ways for therapist to confidently apply these concepts in practice.Table of ContentsPreface 1.

Book SynopsisChristian and Faith-based Counseling for Brain Injury is the first book of its kind to offer faith-based therapy to address the emotional, cognitive, and mental health needs of individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A highly researched piece of work, the book puts forth an innovative and effective method for not only addressing the challenges of a life-changing injury but also for creating a sense of purpose.Through the nuances of faith-based counselling, this book focuses on the spiritual and existential aspects of understanding the diagnosis and creating a purpose post-injury. It examines how brain injury can affect an individual by exploring the deficits of brain injury, the impact of brain injury, and the challenges specific to damage to certain brain lobes. It also describes the mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and posttraumatic stress, that can affect both the survivor and their family members.

Book SynopsisHave you ever looked at a heavy volume on neuropsychology and wondered what it would actually be like to become a professional clinician, working every day with neurological patients in a busy hospital while simultaneously learning your craft? This book tells the story of that journey. The Notebook of a New Clinical Neuropsychologist vividly details the experience of starting work in clinical neuropsychology, exploring early-career learning and development through an intimate, case-based approach. Topics include the learning of basic clinical skills and knowledge, counter-transference, the clinician's emotional experiences, ethical and moral dilemmas, and the development of clinical reasoning. The book is structured around individual studies from the author's early caseload, with each vignette containing the relevant neuropathology, clinical presentation, history, neuropsychological test finding and other clinical data. Chapters are also organized around key neuTrade ReviewAt the beginning of this book, a young Rudi Coetzer asks a senior colleague for help: "How to resemble a clinical neuropsychologist, just a tiny little bit more as I go along?". This question is also continually asked by my students. This excellent book provides an answer and will help students and young professionals develop. A mixture of sound theoretical knowledge, experience, understanding, and most importantly, deep clinical wisdom, this is a great and highly-needed book for young and more experienced psychologists alike. (Sanna Koskinen, Clinical neuropsychologist, University lecturer, PhD, University of Helsinki)This beautiful book interweaves the vulnerability and modesty of a budding new neuropsychologist with the narratives of patients as experienced from the clinician's side of the desk. What adds great weight to the value of the book is that Rudi Coetzer has remained true to the origins of his first cases and refrained from the temptation of choosing only the extraordinary cases – as a result his book is both remarkable and a precious addition to the literature.

Book SynopsisThe psychological impact of an acquired brain injury (ABI) can be devastating for both the person involved and their family. This book describes the different types of psychological therapies used to ameliorate psychological distress following ABI. Each chapter presents a new therapeutic approach by experts in the area. Readers will learn about the key principles and techniques of the therapy alongside its application to a specific case following ABI. In addition, readers will gain insight into which approach may be most beneficial to whom as well as those where there may be additional challenges. Covering a wide array of psychological therapies, samples range from more historically traditional approaches to those more recently developed. Psychological Therapies in Acquired Brain Injury will be of great interest to clinicians and researchers working in brain injury rehabilitation, as well as practitioners, researchers and students of psychology, neTrade Review'Disorders of mood and personality are common after brain injury, and addressing these problems should be an integral part of neuropsychological rehabilitation. This edited volume provides descriptions and explanations of the current psychological therapies employed in good rehabilitation practice for survivors of acquired brain injury. Readers are provided with accounts of cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, compassion focused therapy, positive psychology, attachment-based psychotherapies and integrative psychotherapy for holistic rehabilitation. The contributors are experts in their field, and any practitioner working in brain injury rehabilitation will recognise that this book is essential reading.' – Barbara A. Wilson, The Oliver Zangwill Centre, Ely, UK'Despite dramatic advances in neuroscience over the past few decades, there is still no "cure" or effective biological treatment for many of the long-term neuropsychological consequences a lot of our patients face after an acquired brain injury. Covering a wide range of therapy models and techniques, Psychological Therapies in Acquired Brain Injury makes an important contribution to the field of long-term psychological care of patients who have suffered neurological injury or illness. Technically sound whilst simultaneously also hands-on and practical, this is an essential book for anyone interested in the application of psychotherapeutic approaches to caring for patients with acquired brain injury and their families.' – Rudi Coetzer, DClinPsy, Consultant Neuropsychologist & Head of Service, North Wales Brain Injury Service, UKTable of ContentsList of figuresList of tablesEditors' forewordGiles N.

Book SynopsisEncephalitis is a devastating condition whose impact upon people should not be underestimated. It robs people of abilities most of us take for granted, it leaves people without their loved ones, and even in those families where the person affected survives the person they once knew can be dramatically changed. Life After Encephalitis provides a unique insight into the experiences of those affected by encephalitis, sharing the rich, perceptive, and often powerful, narratives of survivors and family members. It shows how listening to patient and family narratives can help us to understand how they make sense of what has happened to them, and also help professionals better understand and engage with them in practice. The book will also be useful for considering narratives associated with brain injuries from other causes, for example traumatic brain injury. Life After Encephalitis  will appeal to a wide range of professionals woTrade Review"Easton’s book makes you think about identity. If our brains hold our memories that largely determine ourpersonality and effectively define us, what does it meanif part of our brain is destroyed? Personality creates relationships—so when someone you love changes, what happens to the relationship? Encephalitis is undoubtedly a thief, and Easton does an excellent job at explaining why." – Jules Morgan, The Lancet Neurology"I always thought I was a one-off; unique. Back then I had no one to share my experience with…If this book had been available then, I would have realised others had gone, and were going through, similar things to me." – Simon Hattenstone, Journalist and features writer, The Guardian"Life After Encephalitis has given a voice to the millions of people worldwide affected by this horrible condition. As the sister of someone who fought her own battle with encephalitis, I believe it was important that my mum contributed to Ava’s book so that others can take some comfort in knowing they are not, and never will be alone." – Rebecca Adlington, OBE"This is a wonderful book. Ava Easton says in the preface to Life After Encephalitis that she hopes that it gives a voice to survivors of encephalitis. It does. It is a book of stories from which we learn what encephalitis is and how it affects the brain, but more importantly how it changes the lives of those who survive it." – Professor Jon Evans, University of Glasgow"I was absolutely delighted to provide the cover image for such an important book. Having met several survivors of encephalitis I realised how deeply this condition impacts on their lives. Ava’s book does a fantastic job in sharing some of their stories whilst also empowering professionals, and I’m sure it’ll go a long way to improving understanding and care of encephalitis survivors and those left bereaved by the condition." – Bill Ward"When my husband suffered a brain injury we were plunged into an unknown landscape with no knowledge at all of how to cope or what had even happened. This immensely readable book provides immediate insight, help and knowledge of Encephalitis and will be an invaluable guide to anyone who has to deal with this frightening condition" – Kika Markham"Dr Ava Easton has done something remarkable with this book: she has given life and support to patients and families living through this silent disease. From the first-person cases to the in-depth research and passionate dedication to her work as the head of the Encephalitis Society, Ava Easton has given us a gift with this tremendously important book." – Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain On Fire: My Month of Madness"The book is a valuable and overdue addition to the growing body of literature on encephalitis; a disease that manifests in a variety of forms, is often misunderstood, devastating and sometimes deadly. The book is unique in that it tells many stories of encephalitis, from different perspectives, eg, the survivor, the parents of those that did not make it, the physician, as well as those that are unable to tell their story. Encephalitis is much more than just "inflammation of the brain" and its consequences are far-reaching and life-altering. The many narratives in the book illustrate this brilliantly. The book will appeal to a wide readership, including academics, healthcare providers and all those that have been affected or have an interest in learning more." - The Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis Foundation"This is an excellent book. I can't put it down. Thank you for pulling together these patient stories which are at once both ordinary and extraordinary. I've no doubt of the importance of this work for medical professionals." - Benedict Michael, NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer, The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, Centre for Immune and Inflammatory Disease, Harvard Medical School"This is an essential book, not only for those recovering from encephalitis, those relatives or friends or professionals involved in the care of people with encephalitis, neurology wards and clinic areas, but also the general reader interested in knowing more about the impact of sudden acquired brain disease on people through patient narratives." -Michael Zandi, ACNR co-editor, Honorary Consultant Neurologist National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery "Life after encephalitis provides a voice to individuals affected by encephalitis. We all tell stories; it is part of being human as a way of making sense of our experience individually or with others. Our sense of self can be understood as the story of who we are and this identity can be interrupted by encephalitis without invitation or warning. Cognitive problems with memory or language and psychosocial changes following encephalitis can alter an individual’s sense of who he or she is. The narratives within the book can help people affected by encephalitis to understand the new path they find themselves on. The book also adds to the knowledge and understanding of professionals on their clinical journey, and readers’ understanding of themselves with reflections on hope, tenacity and honesty." -Bonnie-Kate Dewar, PhD, Director Neuropsychological Services, LondonDr Ava Easton has done something remarkable with this book: she has given life and support to patients and families living through this silent disease. From the first-person cases to the in-depth research and passionate dedication to her work as the head of the Encephalitis Society, Ava Easton has given us a gift with this tremendously important book.- Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain On Fire: My Month of MadnessTable of ContentsForeword by Simon Hattenstone Preface 1.

Book SynopsisProvides a review of the basic science information concerning the tissues of the musculoskeletal system impacted by injury or disease, as well as the guiding principles upon which rehabilitation interventions are based. This volume divides information into two sections: scientific foundations and principles of intervention.Trade Review"I have been practicing for 20 years and have never written to anyone I didn't know regarding a publication. However, I just wanted to thank you and congratulate you for your recent publication by Elsevier. I received the book on Friday and don't know which chapter to read next. It should be a mandatory text for physical therapy schools because of how it covers the fundamentals and basics. It is sometimes difficult to provide cutting edge material in books because of the publishing process, but you have done a great job. I plan on exposing the text to all students, physicians and health care professionals who cross my path. Since my last few years of practice have focused on pediatric sports medicine and childhood obesity, I will take the information and apply it accordingly to the growing and developing body. Thanks again for your wonderful contribution." "I would recommend this book as essential for fellow physiotherapists who are either near the completion of their course or recently qualified, as well as people studying similar subjects. I chose this book as a companion for the many textbooks I have which give the methodology of assessment techniques but do not cover the theory in depth. The text is easy to read yet still very comprehensive and summary boxes throughout the text provide the key points in a clear, concise way....The content covers everything you could want when working within the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation. It includes a chapter on psychology, effects of aging, nerves and neurophysiology, pharmacology etc as well as the topics you would expect. It is not a quick reference textbook but if you need a through understanding of the background behind musculoskeletal rehab it is perfect."

Book SynopsisDeliberate practice exercises provide trainees and students an opportunity to buildcompetence in essentialrational emotive behavior therapy(REBT) skills while developing their own personal therapeutic style. These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees actas a client and a clinician, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The clinician improvises appropriate and authentic responsesto client statements organized into three difficulty levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—that reflect common client questions and concerns. Each of the first 12 exercises focuses on a single skill, such as psychoeducation, assessing and disputing irrational beliefs, helping clients differentiate maladaptive vs. adaptive behaviors and emotions, teaching clients the ABC model, and developing homework assignments. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these essential skills into a single REBT session. Step-by-step instructionsguide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, andexplain how to monitorand adjust difficulty. Guidelines to helptrainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided. Table of Contents Series PrefaceTony Rousmaniere and Alexandre Vaz AcknowledgmentsPart I.

The information aligns with the Board of Certification's Role Delineation Study/Practice Analysis, Sixth Edition, and the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education's Athletic Training Education Competencies, Fifth Edition, and is a vital resource for students preparing for examinations as well as professionals in the field who wish to stay informed of the latest research. Therapeutic Modalities for Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fourth Edition, applies evidence-based research and clinical experiences of top practitioners in the field to optimize the care of musculoskeletal injuries and provides students and practitioners with solid fundamentals in development of rehabilitation programs. The content of this fourth edition has been significantly updated and revitalized to include all modalities that coincide with BOC requirements and offers the latest in contemporary science in the field. Further updates include the following: New online video that corresponds to modalities discussed throughout the text, directly demonstrating how to apply techniques to individual patients A new chapter on mechanobiology that provides new understanding of the effects of movement and activity on cell function A new chapter on the application of exercise as a stimulus for tissue repair Additional information on the principles and clinical applications of cold, heat, electrotherapy, laser, and ultrasound Updated and revamped case studies and guided scenarios that apply all modalities found throughout the book to real-world situations The content of the book is organized in parts to logically address therapeutic interventions for musculoskeletal injuries. Part I explains the core concepts of therapy, specifically in terms of clinical practice, and part II addresses the physiology of the acute response to tissue damage, tissue repair, and pain. Part III examines electrical modalities for pain management, provides an introduction to neuromuscular control, and addresses the use of biofeedback and neuromuscular stimulation to restore neuromuscular control in rehabilitation. Parts IV and V delve into a critical evaluation of therapeutic applications of cold, superficial heat, ultrasound, electromagnetic fields, and low-power laser therapy.

Book SynopsisPostural Correction presents 30 of the most commonly occurring postural conditions in a comprehensive, full-color format and provides hands-on therapists and body workers with the knowledge and resources to help clients address their malalignments. Trade Review“An ideal instruction reference for students, therapists, and the non-specialist reader with an interest in postural correction issues. “Postural Correction” is as informative and educational as it is thoroughly ‘user friendly’ in content, tone, organization and presentation. “Postural Correction” is very highly recommended for professional, community, and academic library Health/Medicine instructional reference collections.”--The Midwest Book Review “Therapists will use different techniques for different clients and this book helps guide them through the possibilities. It also helps therapists think outside the box and approach clients in a different way, if one technique is not working. The photographs are very helpful… Having a book like this will help therapists take the skills they already have and apply some new theory and techniques to help their clients. The book is written at an appropriate level, not going into too much scientific detail that might be beyond the needs of some massage therapists. Yet, it still challenges therapists to approach their treatments differently.”--Doody’s Book ReviewTable of ContentsPart I. Getting Started With Postural Correction Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisGuidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, Sixth Edition With Web Resource, presents the combined expertise of more than 50 leaders in the field of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), reimbursement, and public policy to empower professionals to successfully implement new CR programs or improve existing ones. Developed by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), this guidebook offers procedures for providing patients with low-cost, high-quality programming that moves them toward a lifelong commitment to disease management and secondary prevention. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the principal cause of death worldwide. It is projected that by 2035, more than 130 million adults in the United States will have CVD. The challenge to CR professionals is to select, develop, and deliver appropriate rehabilitative and secondary prevention services to each patient tailored to their individual needs. Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, Sixth Edition, is the definitive resource for developing inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs. The sixth edition of Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs equips professionals with current scientific and evidence-based models for designing and updating rehabilitation programs. Pedagogical aides such as chapter objectives, bottom line sections, summaries, and sidebars present technical information in an easy-to-follow format. Key features of the sixth edition include the following: A new chapter on physical activity and exercise that helps readers understand how to develop and implement exercise programs to CVD patients A new chapter on cardiac disease populations that offers readers a deeper understanding of CVD populations, including those with heart valve replacement or repair surgery, left ventricular assist devices, heart transplant, dysrhythmias, and/or peripheral artery disease Case studies and discussion questions that challenge readers to consider how concepts from the text apply to real-life scenarios An expanded web resource that includes ready-to-use forms, charts, checklists, and logs that are practical for daily use, as well as additional case studies and review questions Keeping up with change is a professional necessity and keeping up with the science is a professional responsibility. Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, Sixth Edition, covers the entire scope of practice for CR programs and professionals, providing evidence-based information on promoting positive lifestyle behavior patterns, reducing risk factors for disease progression, and lessening the impact of CVD on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality.Note: The web resource is included with all new print books and some ebooks.

Book SynopsisThis resource will help yoga teachers, physical therapists, and individuals with disabilities create safe and effective yoga practices that accommodate conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, limb amputation, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.Trade Review"Although the benefits of adaptive yoga for people with unique physical abilities are being increasingly recognized, there are no published guidelines for safe implementation. Dr. Yang's and Dr. Fahey's expertise in Adaptive Yoga fills a much-needed void. This will be a go-to guide—not only for people with disabilities but also for yoga instructors and for health care professionals hoping to integrate holistic interventions with their patients.”—Kelly Krese, DPT, NCS, Neurologic Physical Therapist at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab“In this important work, Dr. Yang and Dr. Fahey invite you to come back to the essence of yoga, illustrating in a clear and comprehensive way how the postures can (and should) be adapted to each person according to their specific needs. This guide is an essential contribution to the field of yoga therapy, outlining safe and effective practices to promote healing and optimal well-being.”—Rachel Krentzman PT, C-IAYT, Physical Therapist, Yoga Therapist, and Author of Yoga for a Happy Back and Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy, and the Art of Letting Go“As a physical therapist and yoga and movement educator, I get goose bumps thinking about the power of this book's message and the overall work of Dr. Ingrid Yang. Ingrid is defying convention in her field to amplify and lead with a simple, noninvasive, nonpharmaceutical approach that could enhance the quality of life for those experiencing challenging and sometimes disabling conditions. This is a well-referenced guide to understanding how and why to apply yoga asana under a wide range of circumstances.”—Ariele Foster, DPT, PT, E-RYT 500, Founder of YogaAnatomyAcademy.com“This detailed yet accessibly written book is a gift for curious students of yoga, a resource for yoga teachers, and a primer for rehabilitation professionals seeking to understand the use of yoga asana as a targeted means of increasing strength and flexibility. It is also, crucially, a welcome portal to further exploration: As Dr. Yang and Dr. Fahey remind readers, “The goal of adaptive yoga is not only to modify yoga poses but to use yoga as a tool to improve mobility, function, and quality of life.”—Laurie Hyland Robertson, Editor in Chief of Yoga Therapy Today"This book is an amazing effort and accomplishment to help fill a void our health care system is not always able to fill."—Bijal Patel, MD, Nephrologist, Patient Advocate, and Physician Advocate"Adaptive Yoga is a well-thought-out introduction to yoga posture variations to help both yoga professionals and health care providers serve wider audiences. The book is an important bridge that will allow many more individuals to safely access the important health benefits of yoga asana practice."—Matthew J.
