This workbook provides more than 50 questions and exercises designed to empower those with physical loss and disability to better understand and accept their ongoing processes of loss and recovery. The exercises in Coping with Physical Loss and Disability were distilled from ten years of clinical social work experience with clients suffering from quadriplegia, paraplegia, amputation(s), cancer, severe burns, HIV/AIDs, hepatitis, lupus, sensory loss, and neuro-muscular disorders. This technique applies to any loss arising from accidents, injury, surgery, or disease.

Exercises engage the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the client to increase ability and acceptance in critical areas of functioning including self-care, support systems, coping skills, scheduling their life, identity, and dealing with past vs. future, feelings, beliefs, and identifying positive outcomes.
