Topics also include 'self medications' such tobacco and how to contribute to cessation, mental illness co-morbidities, gender identity, women's wellness, African-American wellness, self-wellness of physical therapists, and more! Tools to screen and facilitate wellness (i.e.., stages of change, motivational education, etc.) are examined and practiced. An entire chapter is dedicated to holistic physical therapy case scenarios, and can be used for small group assignments. The final chapter focuses on community wellness, including the creation of a community wellness project. Woven throughout the textbook are case scenarios, images of mock patients, and lots of color to engage the reader and enhance the learning experience.
Additionally, this unique guide offers suggestions for providing appropriate interventions (consultation, referral, education, resources, and program development).
