This is a comprehensive text on psychology as related directly to the physical and manual therapies. It is divided into 3 sections :

  • Section 1 addresses psychological principles as they relate to illness, injury, and rehabilitation.
  • Section 2 covers key concepts relevant to psychological care in the physical therapies (e.g., client-practitioner relationships, cognitive-behavioural interventions). The emphasis in the section is on integrating psychological and physical approaches to client care.
  • Section 3 addresses specific client conditions encountered by those working in the physical and manual therapies.
    • Easy-to-read style and format make the text a helpful reference for experienced practitioners brushing up, or for newcomers seeing a condition for the first time.
