Abstract

Rehabilitation psychology practice is a specialty within the domain of professional health - service psychology that applies psychological knowledge and skills on behalf of individuals with physical and cognitive impairments and chronic health conditions; the purpose is to maximize their health and welfare, independence and choice, func- tional abilities, and social role participation and to minimize secondary health com- plications. Because chronic health conditions place the greatest demand on health - care services and the percentage of persons with chronic conditions is increasing (Hoffman, Rice, and Sung, 1996 ), rehabilitation psychology is increasingly relevant to many of today's important health care issues.
