DOWNLOAD EBOOKRecreational therapy is a profession of practice - and our practice includes more than the hands-on application of knowledge and skills. It is unrealistic to assume that we can help our patients toward a more holistic lifestyle without also understanding the environment in which we practice. This book, then, is meant to be a tool to help the therapist fit into the professional environment of his/her choice. To be able to fit into this environment, the professional must be able to understand the issues and the trends along with the implications of both. To this end the editors and authors of this book present the current issues in the rapidly changing world of health care to stimulate discussion and thoughtful dialog among both students and professionals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Recreational Therapy and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health ties recreational therapy practice to the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). The ICF is a conceptualization of health, disability, and function that complements and validates the philosophy and practice of recreational therapy. Recreational Therapy and the ICF shows the connection between diagnosis and treatment and validates recreational therapy as part of this globally accepted model for aiding efforts toward optimal health and functioning. Each ICF code group relevant to recreational therapy is described, showing the assessment and treatment recreational therapists do for that code along with research demonstrating the efficacy of the interventions. Each ICF code set cross-references the places it is used in the other ICF-based books in the Recreational Therapy Practice series, Recreational Therapy for Specific Diagnoses and Conditions and Recreational Therapy Basics, Techniques, and Interventions."--Publisher's website.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe number of individuals diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder has increased in the past decade, not only in the military and veteran population but within the civilian population as well. Traditional treatments such as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy have provided less-than-ideal results proving to be less effective when used alone to treat the disorder. Complementary and Alternative Medicine for PTSD supplements these traditional treatments, using new and effective techniques to fill the therapeutic void. The alternative therapies covered include acceptance and commitment therapy, acupuncture, alternative pharmacology, canine assistive therapy, family focused interventions, internet and computer-based therapy, meditation techniques, mobile applications, recreational therapy, resilience training, transracial magnetic stimulation, virtual reality exposure therapy, and yoga. Each chapter delivers the most up-to-date understanding of neurobiology, best practices, and key points for clinicians and patients considering inclusion of these treatments in patient care. Drs. David Benedek and Gary Wynn offer insight into the future of complementary and alternative medicine, shining a light onto how these techniques fit into clinical practice to create the most beneficial treatments for the patient. This book is both an essential resource and practical guide to everyday clinical interactions. It is a necessary addition to the medical library for students and senior clinicians alike.
