Abstract

Interdisciplinary rehabilitation can be a complex, challenging, and sometimes confusing process. The varying experiences and perspectives of patients and professionals contribute to the diversity of challenging dilemmas. This manuscript is intended to help rehabilitation professionals improve their effectiveness and the quality of their relationships with patients, family members, and colleagues. The manuscript complements a prior publication, Laws of the House of Rehab: A Guide to Managing Psychological Distress and Promoting Benefit from Rehabilitation [2]. The authors have included additional information relating to principles of rehabilitation practice. The principles, labeled as "laws", provide guidance for developing values and practice methods.
