Description

Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. Psychologists study a person’s reactions, emotions, and behavior, and apply their understanding of that behavior to treat the associated behavioral problems. Treatment is focused on therapy and counseling, rather than prescribing medications for a “quick fix.” Psychologists are therefore responsible for identifying psychological, emotional, and/or behavioral issues, as well as diagnosing any specific disorders, by using information gleaned from patient interviews, patient’s tests and records, and medical reference materials. It is also the psychologist’s job to come up with an individualized treatment plan for each patient, and to modify it as necessary over time (depending on the patient’s progress).
Rehabilitation is an integrated program of interventions that empower individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions to achieve “personally fulfilling, socially meaningful, and functionally effective interaction” in their daily contexts i.e., an individual’s day to day life.
Rehabilitation Psychology is a specialty area within psychology that focuses on the study and application of psychological knowledge and skills on behalf of individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions in order to maximize health and welfare, independence and choice, functional abilities, and social role participation across the lifespan.
Rehabilitation Psychologists are uniquely trained and specialized to engage in a broad range of activities including clinical practice, consultation, program development, service provision, research, teaching and education, training, administration, development of public policy and advocacy related to persons with disability and chronic health conditions.
When planning interventions and recommending services for any particular case, Rehabilitation Psychologists involve the rehabilitation team and consider the network of an individual’s environments (e.g. familial, social, cultural, physical, service availability, and political) and the means of addressing barriers in these areas, such as personal adaptation, the use of assistive technology and personal assistance services and modifications of physical and social environments.
It is frequently a blend of such products and services that is most beneficial to individuals in achieving desired goals and well-being. The preferences, needs, and resources of persons served are taken into account in treatment planning, and any obstacles preventing the highest level of personal and social functioning are identified and reduced or removed when feasible.
The broad field of Rehabilitation Psychology includes not only clinical practice, but also rehabilitation program development and administration, research, teaching of psychology students and other health trainees, public education and development of policies for injury prevention and health promotion, and advocacy for persons with disabilities and chronic health conditions.
Rehabilitation psychologist is useful in treating n counseling critical care patients of cancer, HIV,or any dreadful disease.
