“…Although studies examining disability issues from a psychological perspective have involved several groups and societies, the landmark of history of rehabilitation psychology was the foundation of Division 22 of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1958 (Sherwin, ). The founding members, such as Lee Meyerson (1920–2002; Division 22 President, 1959–1960), Roger G. Barker, PhD (1903–1990), Tamara Dembo (1902–1993; Division 22 President, 1968–1969), and Beatrice Wright (1917 to present; Division 22 President, 1968–1969), were researchers who studied the psychological aspects of physical disabilities during or subsequent to World War II.…”

Japanese studies examining psychosocial issues in people with acquired mobility-related disabilities have been developed under the influence of rehabilitation psychology theories, such as the theory of value change and stage theory, established in the United States. In Japan, the combination of disability acceptance and stage theory is distinctive, focusing on the occurrence of depression. These psychosocial studies have been criticized, because they have placed excessive emphasis on individual factors and have underestimated sociocultural factors from a long-term perspective. Therefore, researchers have begun to examine the meanings of disabilities via qualitative analysis, as they have not assumed psychological goals, such as acceptance or adjustment. These studies have revealed that people with disabilities tend to revise the meanings of disabilities, as they lead their lives in diverse contexts with respect to coping. Stories that have involved "subjunctivizing" reality have deepened participants' understanding of their lives and have allowed for the identification of new meanings for disabilities. These studies also value identity development in people with disabilities via relationships with those with diverse disabilities. Further studies examining the association between these results and disability welfare from a lifespan perspective are required.

“…With supportive data from an evaluative, quasi-experimental study and a marked increase in the number of soldiers returning to duty, the practice of "rehabilitation medicine" was recognized by the Medical War Manpower Board, and rehabilitation programs were established throughout the military. Interestingly, during this same time period, Ludwig Guttman, a neurologic surgeon (and German refugee) in charge of the Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville, England, prescribed physical therapies, range of motion exercises, and recreational therapies to promote the adjustment of wounded British soldiers at the center (Dillingham, 2002;Sherwin, 2012).…”

Many professions are involved in the rehabilitation process of persons who incur significant physical disabilities. Physical rehabilitation facilities feature multidisciplinary teams that rely on interdisciplinary knowledge to inform clinical practice. These teams typically include physiatrists (physicians specializing in rehabilitation medicine), nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, audiologists, vocational counselors, recreational therapists, social workers, and psychologists, depending on the particular setting. Throughout its long involvement in rehabilitation, clinical psychology brings unique expertise in theory, research, and skill that benefit rehabilitation.In this chapter, we provide a brief history of clinical psychology in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) settings, and we describe influential events, individuals, and developments that shaped the role of clinical psychology in physical rehabilitation facilities. We summarize the unique contributions and activities of psychologists in these settings and the competencies that constitute best practice. We conclude with an overview of the present status and future directions of psychologists in rehabilitation.
