Description

Dans la réadaptation physique adulte, la théorie d’apprentissage transformateur permet le développement d’un modèle détaillé du processus de transformation des perspectives de sens en réadaptation physique basé sur des indices de recherche, des exemples et des cas, et propose des conseils pour des applications cliniques. 

Cet ouvrage s’inspire du contexte théorique et de l’apprentissage transformateur dans l’éducation des adultes (Mezirow) pour discuter du développement et du transfert des connaissances dans les interventions reliées au domaine de la réadaptation physique et communautaire. 

Il présente aussi les découvertes novatrices d’un projet de recherche mené pendant quinze ans sur le processus de transformation des perspectives de sens majeures avec des groupes de clients ou de patients. Ce projet a engendré le premier modèle de transformations importantes dans le champ de la réadaptation physique. Ce processus émerge de la construction de nombreuses théories substantives (Glaser & Strauss), financées à l’externe, et complétées pour la première fois auprès de populations de clients variées traités en ergothérapie, en physiothérapie et dans d’autres disciplines de réadaptation de la santé physique. 

Ce livre s’adresse aux cliniciens, éducateurs et étudiants en réadaptation physique, ainsi qu’à ceux qui accompagnent un proche qui traverse un important changement personnel.

Reviews

This book attempts to understand how and why rehabilitation decisions are taken among caregivers and clients. Initially, the book is intended for healthcare practitioners, educators, and physical rehabilitation students, this book is also exceptionally beneficial for clients and family readers. (…) It incorporates case descriptions for in-depth understanding and adds an essential dimension of the rehabilitation profession to the well-known models in education and psychology. The book helps enlighten therapists on the importance of building a new self-identity with new forces, leading to independence and optimal functioning of the patients. (…) I highly recommend the [book], and encourage health care practitioners to read it and be enriched through its findings.
