Physiotherapy by Sally French
In the new edition of this unique book, French and Sim apply their theoretical expertise in psychology and sociology to physiotherapy practice. Informative, analytical and stimulating, this text is well referenced and continues to be invaluable to physiotherapy students and practitioners. The text offers a comprehensive exploration of the psychological and sociological factors as they apply to health, illness, impairment, and disability. Wide range of topics covered includes material on the details of interpersonal communication and the impact of political factors on health status. The issues covered in this volume are relevant to readers from all countries. Contributions from a new editor offer the reader an even greater amount of experience from the perspective of both a lecturer and researcher. New chapters including Professions and Professional Work and Participatory Research cover important topics for practitioners. The important topic of pain has been considerably expanded, including more content that it both up-to-date and thorough.
