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.

Wide range of topics covered includes material on the details of interpersonal communication and the impact of political factors on health status.
