Comprehensively addresses the developing field of Work Disability Prevention. Offers current theory for understanding the determinants of work disability (regardless of illness or injury that keeps individuals from the workplace), and a template for interventions that benefit both the patient and other stakeholders. Experts across multiple fields examine the lives of work disabled patients, analyze the societal and workplace burden of work disability, and review bedrock concepts of the disability and its prevention.

Features assessment tools, evidence-based intervention strategies, and insights into disorder-specific populations.
 
Also included in the Handbook:
  • Pain, chronicity, and disability
  • Measuring outcomes in work disability prevention
  • The influence of care providers on work disability
  • Psychosocial factors for disability and return to work
  • Core components of return-to-work interventions
