The handbook has been significantly updated to reflect major changes in the field of rehabilitation, including an emphasis on health outcomes and person-centered care. Chapters address core topics, such as education, training, and competency-based practice, as well as specific health conditions, including chronic pain, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and amputation. This edition also includes information about artificial intelligence, virtual reality, public health, community rehabilitation, and other innovations in health care.

Contributors integrate their experience with empirical research, highlight methodological advances, recommend best practices, discuss policy implications, and identify possibilities for the future. Both experienced clinicians and early-career practitioners will find this book an invaluable resource for delivering effective behavioral health care to people with chronic health conditions.
