This first-of-its-kind textbook surveys rehabilitation and vocational programs aiding persons with disabilities in remote and developing areas in the U.S. and abroad. Contributors discuss longstanding challenges to these communities, most notably economic and environmental obstacles and ongoing barriers to service delivery, as well as their resilience and strengths. Intersections of health, social, structural, and access disparities are shown affecting rural disabled populations such as women, racial and sexual minorities, youth, and elders. In terms of responses, a comprehensive array of healthcare and health policy solutions and recommendations is critiqued with regard to health, employment, and service effectiveness outcomes. Included among the topics: Healthcare initiatives, strategies, and challenges for people with disabilities in rural, frontier, and territory settings. Challenges faced by veterans residing in rural communities. The Asia and Pacific region: rural-urban impact on disability. Challenges after natural disaster for rural residents with disabilities. Meeting the needs of rural adults with mental illness and dual diagnoses. Capacity building in rural communities through community-based collaborative partnerships. Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation in Rural Settings makes a worthy textbook for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates in the fields of social work, community and environmental psychology, public health, sociology, education, and geography. Its professional audience also includes vocational rehabilitation counselors serving these dynamic populations.

This text represents a complete revision and update that provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and introduction to the field of rehabilitation counseling and services but also has applicability to the growing field of community counseling. Part One, the introductory section, discusses and describes the basic foundations of the rehabilitative process. Part Two, the rehabilitation process, provides the reader with an insightful appreciation and understanding of the rehabilitation process. In Part Three, the counseling and psychosocial aspects of disability are traced from multiple points of view - both theoretical and practical - and psychodynamic, Adlerian, rational emotive, behavioral, and Gestalt perspectives are explored and examined. The final section discusses special topics in rehabilitation appropriate for an introductory textbook but more suitable for an in-depth examination. The book's revisions include, in part, a greatly expanded chapter on the foundations of rehabilitation as well as a new historical aspects chapter. Educational considerations have been expanded and incorporated into a chapter on the development of the rehabilitation counseling discipline. Material on the rehabilitation process and occupational analysis and placement has been reorganized and includes new material on job development and placement. New material has been included on counseling credentialing and substance use disabilities, and material on international and multicultural perspectives has been reorganized and updated. This outstanding text will be particularly useful in graduate introductory rehabilitation or community counseling courses and may be readily adaptable to undergraduate courses as well. Additionally, the book will be a very useful resource for rehabilitation or community counselor practitioners.
