This new edition of Psychosocial Elements of Physical Therapy: The Connection of Body to Mind improves and expands on the first edition to include intuitive chapter organization, refreshed exercises, and content reflecting current research and applications throughout, as well as a new chapter examining neurodivergence. This cutting-edge text presents selected mental health and psychosocial conditions seen in physical therapy practice, drawing explicit connections between clinical practice and patients as full persons.
With themes including the importance of therapeutic presence, system-level strategies and information for psychosocially informed practice, and the benefits of specific physical activity and interpersonal approaches tailored to patients, readers will engage with current evidence and the author’s experience to better serve patients with selected mental health and developmental conditions.
Psychosocial Elements of Physical Therapy is a resource for both classroom and clinic and is key reading for students in both doctor of physical therapy (DPT) and physical therapist assistant (PTA) programs, as well as newer clinicians. Ancillaries include a sample course syllabus, sample discussion prompts for an online or in-person course, and sample reading/assignment schedules for a variety of course lengths and credit hour options.
