| Summary |
This book examines the recent paradigm shift taking place in rehabilitation. Carol M. Davis, EdD, PT takes a careful look at concepts such as therapeutic presence, holism, energy and the mind/body connection and how they can be used to enhance current rehabilitation practice. Dr. Davis and her contributors help to clarify the changes taking place regarding how health and illness are viewed and the choices professionals are making in the treatment decisions for their patients. Traditional methods of treatment are being re-examined as more holistic approaches to healthcare offer alternative options. These complementary methods are introduced and described by experienced professionals who have successfully integrated these techniques into their practice. The book addresses the development of each method, its application and approaches, as well as providing examples for each. Developed for the student and the health professional, the book is invaluable in helping to bridge the gap between complementary and traditional medicine |
