Handbook of complex occupational disability claims

"This clear-sighted, interdisciplinary, and integrative volume goes beyond cataloguing symptoms or sorting legitimate from fraudulent cases; its emphasis is on early detection of risk and management to prevent injury from developing into long-term disability. Editors Schultz and Gatchel and their expert contributors offer lucid evaluations of the scientific and clinical literature to repair the mind/body split that has traditionally defined this field." "A book that synthesizes so many diverse viewpoints has the potential to influence both policy and practice across disciplines and cut through politicization of these still poorly understood conditions with evidence. The Handbook is important reading for clinicians, professionals, and members of rehabilitation and disability management teams across healthcare, occupational, and compensation settings."--Jacket.
