DescriptionWhat is really important in rehabilitation?
This talk will discuss the conceptual skills needed by all rehabilitation professionals to practice genuine person-centred rehabilitation and avoid the influence of the Law of the Instrument.
Rehabilitation is person-centred, or is it? A person is an entity defined by relationships socially with other people and groups, and physically with the environment. A person has a past and hopes for the future. A person depends on the satisfactory functioning of many organ systems to interact with their physical and social environment to achieve their goals, which are directed towards satisfying basic and higher-order motivational needs. Maladies can upset the balance of a person’s life, so they must adapt and achieve a new balance. This can be considered a very complex system. I will suggest a new perspective on rehabilitation to help you think about clinical matters.
