Summary

Many of the greatest losses and victories in sport are played out in the battle with injury. An injury does more than undermine an athlete's physical abilities; it also challenges the athlete's emotional equilibrium and mental game. To successfully treat injuries, you must treat the psychological consequences as well as the physical trauma. Psychology of Sport Injury shows you how.
Psychology of Sport Injury is for all professionals who work with injured athletes: psychologists, physicians, athletic trainers, and sport physical therapists. It has the in-depth information needed to address the psychological needs of those with injuries.
To improve both the continuity and quality of care that injured athletes receive, Psychology of Sport Injury advocates a team approach, with psychologists and sports medicine professionals working together with athletes to help them successfully return to play. To help team members work together, the book includes medical information that is helpful for the psychologist to know. And conversely, it contains specific recommendations for psychological intervention in a format that is practical for the sports medicine professional.
This hands-on guide to the psychological management of sport injury is a must for psychologists and sports medicine practitioners who want to help athletes rehabilitate from injuries as completely - and as quickly as possible.
