• "This is an excellent book on patient education in rehabilitation. The instruction provided to students and professionals in occupation and physical therapy will promote and lead to positive patient outcomes. Comprehensive books such as Physical Rehabilitation, 5th edition, O'Sullivan and Schmitz (F. A. Davis, 2007), cover system assessments and common medical conditions in need of physical or occupational rehabilitation, but fail to provide insights into effective patient education, a key component for successful patient outcomes."
