• Sommario/riassunto: "This text provides an overview of vocational rehabilitation practice, making it the perfect companion for students and practitioners with an interest in supporting people back to work and improving their sense of health and wellbeing. Divided into three parts, the first section covers the policy context of VR in the UK, defining vocational rehabilitation, outlining the development of national standards in the sector, and looking at issues such as: the economy and worklessness, and the legal background. The second part examines models of VR practice and relevant standards. It explores the nature of developing services in the public and private sectors, with case studies from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to illustrate. The final part presents a detailed introduction to the knowledge and skills required, including consideration of the multi-disciplinary processes and stages involved, in providing a VR service. Introduction to Vocational Rehabilitation includes numerous case studies and a dedicated chapter of issues and questions to aid reflection. Comprehensive and evidence-based, this is the first multidisciplinary textbook for students and practitioners from a range of backgrounds, including occupational therapy and health, physiotherapy, human resources, nursing, social work and health psychology"--
