Transformative physical rehabilitation: Thriving after a major health event

Abstract

Dubouloz-Wilner’s Transformative Physical Rehabilitation: Thriving After a Major Health Event presents itself as a unique and profound resource for health care practitioners in physical rehabilitation by offering a transformative learning model focusing on patients’ perception of self, their diagnosis, and rehabilitation. The book describes the model, details inspiration, and studies that reinforce the model’s components and practical methods. The model presented in the book is a culmination of Mezirow’s perspective on transformative learning, Kuhn’s paradigm theory from the 60s, Friere’s conscientization theory, Gould’s psychological perspective in the seventies, and setup by Cranton’s cognitive perspective.
