In addition to this, the final sections of the book address psychological features, or specific constructs (e.g. pain), that may be a response to injury or disease - all of which can influence an individual's behaviour and interpersonal interactions. This book is structured so that chapters and/or groups of chapters can be read independently in almost any order.
