	July/August 1999 - Special Interest Groups - Psychosocial Research Special Interest Group: History, Advances, and ...
		The Psychosocial Research Special Interest Group (PSR-SIG) was recently constituted by APS members who share a common interest in the design and implementation of psychosocial research related to pain, and in the application of those findings to the clinical assessment and treatment of painful conditions.
		Psychosocial researchers should be applauded for their sustained efforts in advancing this rehabilitation model, which has paved the way for the integration of psychosocial interventions into multidisciplinary pain practices.
		Moreover, the psychosocial pain researchers are particularly well suited to provide the types of careful empirical design, application, and analyses to maximize the utility of the data already gathered and data to be gathered in the future.

	The Influence Of Psychosocial Rehabilitation On Patients With A First Episode Of Psychosis
		Yet the potential benefits of psychosocial rehabilitation may not be fully understood as there is a relative shortage of published research in the area particularly among persons with a first-episode of psychosis (Huxley, 2000).
		We sought to investigate the effectiveness of a psychosocial rehabilitation programme on the outcome of a group of patients recovering from a first-episode of psychosis.
		The potential benefits of the psychosocial rehabilitation programme may not extend into reduced use of hospital beds as patients who completed the programme evidenced an increased number of readmissions and days spent in hospital at follow-up.

	NASW Clinical Indicators for Social Work and Psychosocial Services in the Acute Psychiatric Hospital
		Social work services are provided to patients and their families to ensure that a patient’s illness, recovery, and safe transition from one care setting to another are considered within the context of his or her biopsychosocial needs and the specific demands and opportunities of his or her environment.
		Psychosocial information has bearing on the identification of immediate high-risk issues (for example, job loss, unattended children, treatment noncompliance, problematic discharge) and is needed for immediate intervention and expeditious and appropriate treatment planning.
		To guide planning and decision making adequately, the comprehensive psychosocial assessment addresses both problems and strengths in the patient and his or her situation and spells out the implications of this information for treatment and posthospital planning.

	Psychosocial effects of an exercise program in older persons who fall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Psychosocial factors could theoretically increase the risk of falling among elderly individuals by interacting with intrinsic physical factors and environmental factors [9,13].
		We also have observed that the psychosocial variables among persons who fall may be related to their physical ability and functional performance and may affect their response to intervention.
		Accordingly, performance testing appears to be a useful adjunct to appropriate psychosocial measures in determining the presence and extent of psychosocial influence on the physical domain.

	Psychosocial rehabilitation in Brazil: the impact on everyday life
		The practices of everyday life are the first step for psychosocial rehabilitation of the individual and, mostly what makes one a citizen When we give a person a treatment we treat things differently than when we treat a diagnostic.
		Saraceno (1999:96-97) points out that a high quality service should be permeable and dynamic, with high internal and external integration " a service where the permeability of knowledge and resources prevail on the separation of them", and in which the organization is "oriented towards the necessities of the patient and not the service".
		The occupational rehabilitation (vocational rehabilitation), principally in the Anglo-Saxon model of psychosocial rehabilitation, is explicit as a central principle of the process.

	Psychosocial Disorders \| AHealthyMe.com
		A psychosocial disorder is a mental illness caused or influenced by life experiences, as well as maladjusted cognitive and behavioral processes.
		Patients with symptoms of psychosocial disorders or other mental illness should undergo a thorough physical examination and patient history to rule out an organic cause for the illness (such as a neurological disorder).
		Because of the diversity of types of mental disorders influenced by psychosocial factors, and the complexity of diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis for psychosocial disorders is highly variable.

		Erikson believes that this third psychosocial crisis occurs during what he calls the "play age," or the later preschool years (from about 3½ to, in the United States culture, entry into formal school).

		Erikson believes that the fourth psychosocial crisis is handled, for better or worse, during what he calls the "school age," presumably up to and possibly including some of junior high school.

		This involved the recognition that social science assumptions, methods, questions and theories were themselves subject to the same semiotic influences as those aspects of psychosocial functioning which they took as their object.
		Both of these approached recognized that the conduct of research activity itself is a psychosocial activity and that this very reflexivity demands a critical attitude on the part of the investigators as to the nature of their understandings.
		Through diverse projects this concern with the historical, cultural, and semiotic basis of psychosocial theory constituted the core of continuing activity at the Center from 1983 to 1986.
