People Help Themselves: An Interdisciplinary

¶ … People Help Themselves: An Interdisciplinary Approach

In order to help people help themselves, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary. This means that more than just one physical or mental health doctor must be involved in the treatment of a person. Instead, it becomes very important for there to be an interdisciplinary approach to helping someone, whether they are coming into the hospital for some type of surgery or other problem or whether they are being rehabilitated because they have suffered an amputation or some type of serious injury or event.

In this study, there are several cases that are looked at in the context of literature regarding the interdisciplinary approach and psychological issues. In order to do this, the Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City Hospital is the rehabilitation facility that will be studied. However, the researcher will also draw on personal experience and a review of the literature in order to better showcase the fact that there is much to be learned from the interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation because the mental and emotional issues that these people face have as much if not more impact on their lives than the physical issues.
