Title: Social Rehabilitation and Independence of Individuals Following Trauma, Disease or Chronic Pathology
Abstract: In recent years there has been an increase in the number of people requiring rehabilitation services. The genesis of rehabilitation services has been, in part, a response to the recognition that increasing the quality of life and independence of individuals following trauma, disease or enduring chronic pathology benefits society as a whole, as well as the individual. Human beings also have psychological, social and spiritual belief and value systems alongside personal experience that blend to form each unique individual. The rehabilitation is to improve competence and confidence in the assessment and delivery of appropriate psychological care for clients and their families (1,2). Some society for the Blind and Visually Impaired provides education and training for individuals who are blind and visually impaired in order to enhance their physical, psychological and social rehabilitation, and independence.

When faced with physical illness, disease or trauma we turn to health professionals to help us overcome the problem. Human beings also have psychological, social and spiritual belief and value systems alongside personal experience that blend to form each unique individual.

Research on the development of emotions and their functional characteristics as regulators of behavior has grown dramatically over the past 10 years. There is currently renewed emphasis on the importance of emotion regulation and dysregulation for our understanding of normal development and the development of psychopathology (6). By learning new skills we increase our understanding of the world around us and equip ourselves with the tools we need to live a more productive and fulfilling life. Life skills are not always taught directly but often learned indirectly through experience and practice. Perhaps the most important life skill is the ability to learn. Understanding Loneliness is also very important issue. Feeling sad, or what we may call depressed, happens to all of us. The sensation usually passes after a while. However, people with a depressive disorder clinical depression find that their state interferes with daily life (7).
