ABSTRACT
Psychological expertise is an integral component of the continuum of rehabilitation processes from medical inpatient treatment for persons with acute-onset disabilities to the vocational training and placement for persons living with severe and chronic disabilities. Psychological perspectives were formally integrated into the vocational rehabilitation enterprise over a century ago; the ensuing decades and accompanying sophistication in research and practice intensified the role of psychologists at all levels of decision-making and service delivery across the rehabilitation service delivery spectrum.
