Description
The book "Work Worth Doing: Advances in Brain Injury Rehabilitation" is a collection of essays written by 26 rehabilitation experts. It covers various topics related to vocational rehabilitation for individuals with traumatic brain injuries, including independent living, treatment generalization, evaluating rehabilitation facilities, family involvement, and a new perspective on the industry. The title of the book is inspired by a quote from President Theodore Roosevelt.
President Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." This quote is not only the source from which the title was borne, but also the philosophical approach toward TBI rehabilitation embraced by the 26 rehabilitation experts who wrote Work Worth Doing: Advances in Brain Injury Rehabilitation. This important, and possibly controversial, book of issues and methods addresses the full spectrum of vocational rehabilitation activities. Independent living, treatment generalization, criteria for evaluating TBI rehabilitation facilities, family involvement issues, and an entirely new perspective on the TBI rehabilitation industry are discussed.
