Abstract
Rehabilitation is an educational problem-solving process that focuses on disability and aims to minimize the patient's disability and distress and the stress on family members. There is established evidence that rehabilitation helps individual patients, and now there is good evidence that applying rehabilitation policies generally improves outcome in groups of patients. Moreover, well-organized specialist rehabilitation is efficient because total resources are reduced.
