A request today for information on the history of rehabilitation from Laszlo led to finding very few useful references. Looking at Amazon and Blackwells online bookshops, I found a multitude of books written on rehabilitation for animals, those with drug addiction of all types and criminals. Very little on the physical rehabilitation for those with a disability and then it appears to have been considered by each separate type of therapy rather looking at the whole picture, probably because it is such a large subject. Even so, I have not been able to track down many references and those below are for books held in this library. More could probably be found by doing a search of journal databases, such as Medline, CINAHL but I do not have full access to these. After a search on the internet, I have found similar results, that is history of a specific type of rehabilitation or for a specific condition. It is possible to find some general information if you click on the URLs.
This led me to thinking about the history of Conductive Education and the fact that there is very little available on the history of its development and Peto himself, and what there is can be contradictory. I compiled a list of items a few years ago but will now revise it and blog it shortly.
See list below for books and internet references on rehabilitation. If anyone can recommend any titles, papers etc, please let me know.
