“…Caregivers in American samples have been found to benefit from psychosocial and educational services related to the perceived challenges of caregiving (House, Russell, Kelly, Gerson, & Vogel, 2009), and the current findings highlight a need for future research on similar services in Latin America. Due to the collectivist nature of many Latino cultures (Marin & Marin, 1991), and the importance of family in rehabilitation with Latino populations (Hanson & Kerkhoff, 2007), family support systems may be important variables to consider when constructing these SCI caregiver interventions.…”

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationships between caregiver mental health (anxiety, burden, depression, satisfaction with life, and self-esteem) and SCI physical and psychosocial functional impairments in a Colombian sample. Forty SCI caregivers were recruited from Neiva, Colombia, and completed measures of SCI impairments and their own mental health. Greater SCI impairments, and caregiver stress due to those impairments, were associated with higher caregiver depression and anxiety, although only patient psychosocial functional impairments and related caregiver stress were uniquely associated with caregiver depression. Due to the collectivist nature of and the importance of family in many Latino cultures, mental health interventions for family members who provide care for an individual with SCI having greater psychosocial impairments may be particularly important. Palabras clave: SCI impairment, caregivers, mental health. ResumenPoca literatura ha examinado las relaciones entre salud mental del cuidador y funcionamiento físico y psicosocial de las personas con traumatismo de médula espinal en América Latina, a pesar de la escasez de servicios y necesidades únicas de esta población. El propósito del presente estudio fue examinar las relaciones entre la salud mental del cuidador (ansiedad, sobrecarga, depresión, satisfacción con la vida y autoestima) y las discapacidades físicas y psicosociales de personas con traumatismo de médula espinal en una muestra colombiana. Cuarenta cuidadores de personas con traumatismo de médula espinal fueron reclutados en Neiva, Colombia, quienes completaron medidas de discapacidad del traumatismo de mé-dula espinal y de su propia salud mental. Mayores niveles de discapacidad en personas con traumatismo de médula espinal y niveles de estrés del cuidador debido a esas discapacidades, fueron asociadas con mayores niveles de depresión y ansiedad en el cuidador, aunque sólo las discapacidades psicosociales de los pacientes y el estrés relacionado con el cuidador fueron asociados con la depresión en el cuidador. Debido a la naturaleza colectivista y la importancia de la familia en la mayoría de las culturas latinas, las intervenciones centradas en la salud mental de los familiares que cuidan de personas con traumatismo de la medula espinal pueden ser particularmente importantes.

“…Previous research highlights conditions associated with poorer employment outcomes, such as weak counselorclient relationships (Donnell, Lustig, & Strauser, 2004;Lustig, Strauser, Rice, & Rucker, 2002;Lustig, Strauser, & Weems, 2004), racial or cultural differences (Day-Vines et al, 2007;Hanson & Kerkhoff, 2007;Stodden, Stodden, Kim-Rupnow, Thai, & Galloway, 2003), work disincentives such as receipt of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) (Ipsen, 2006;Marini, Lee, Chan, Chapin, & Romero, 2008;Matrone & Leahy, 2005), incidence of secondary health conditions (Anderson & Vogel, 2002;DeVivo, 1998;Ipsen, 2006;Ipsen, Seekins, & Arnold, 2011;Ipsen, Seekins, & Ravesloot, 2010), how VR services are delivered, and client characteristics such as disability type (Chan, Cheing, Chan, Rosenthal, & Chronister, 2006;Johnstone, Vessell, Bounds, Hoskins, & Sherman, 2003;Marini et al, 2008;McAweeney, Keferl, Moore, & Wagner, 2008). Many of these factors might also affect client desire and ability to complete services.…”

Vocational rehabilitation (VR) clients who leave the system prematurely experience worse employment outcomes than clients who stay in services. The authors conducted this study to learn about factors leading to premature exit by rural VR clients. Results will inform survey development for a large longitudinal study on this topic. The authors content coded 27 qualitative telephone interviews with former rural VR clients who exited the system prematurely. Reported reasons for premature exit included (a) discrepancies between services provided and services desired, (b) unmet counselor expectations, (c) counselor—client relationship problems, (d) health issues, (e) limited job opportunities, (f) work disincentives, and (g) slow service speed. VR might reduce premature exits by helping clients better understand the VR process, including the types of VR services offered and associated counselor expectations.

“…2,3 Overall, this text provides a solid overview of the key populations and clinical and professional issues that are relevant in the field of rehabilitation psychology and, thus, it can serve as a desk reference that will be picked up often. Although some of the chapters touch on research from other cultural perspectives, there is minimal attention paid to how the rehabilitation and recovery process and the experience of and approach to disability are similar or different in other countries, cultures, and ethnic groups.…”

F or approximately 70 years, rehabilitation psychology has been a recognizable specialty area of practice. Over that time period, the field has grown to impact a wide variety of rehabilitation and medical populations through clinical work and research. To address the growing interest in the field exemplified by the number of individuals pursuing diplomate status from American Board of Rehabilitation Psychology and recognition by related specialties, such as health psychology and clinical neuropsychology, the Handbook of Rehabilitation Psychology was published by American Psychological Association in 2000. It was quickly recognized to be the most influential text in the field. 1 As the field has continued to develop over the decade, an updated version was warranted and, thus, the second edition of the Handbook has been published. This second edition is an expansion of the earlier edition, with the addition of several new topic areas relevant to the field. However, of note, it does not include some important topics that were covered in the first edition. As noted by the editors, the limited space led them not to include some topics in which there have been few advances in the understanding of the area since the first edition. Thus, to some degree, this second edition can be viewed as an adjunct text to the first edition and both Handbooks remain important references for the field. This is potentially a weakness of the Handbook, because it necessitates the purchase of both editions.The second edition of the Handbook has 34 chapters organized within 6 main topic areas: clinical conditions, assessment, clinical interventions, pediatrics, emerging topics for rehabilitation psychology, and professional issues. The chapters in part I include discussion of the core rehabilitation populations, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, limb amputation, chronic pain, burn injuries, multiple sclerosis, and geriatrics. Part II is a clear adjunct to, rather than replacement of the first edition offering new discussion of the important topics of functional status and quality of life, forensic issues, the practice of neuropsychology in the rehabilitation setting, assessment of personality and psychopathology in rehabilitation populations, and the role of neuroimaging. Similarly, part III provides summaries of what is known in the field regarding interventions with rehabilitation populations, including important updates about substance abuse issues in populations with disabilities, psychotherapeutic interventions to promote adjustment and improved life participation, and the engagement of family caregivers in the process, and new models of interventions using assistive technology and cognitive rehabilitation. Part IV focuses on pediatric rehabilitation populations and the unique issues that arise when developmental or acquired disability is present in childhood. Part V offers a hodgepodge of topics relevant to the practices of rehabilitation psychology, including theoretical perspectives on disability, rehabili...
