Programming Individual and Adjunctive Therapeutic Services for Visually Impaired Clients in a Rehabilitation Center

Abstract

□ In conclusion, it is important to stress that while psychotherapy in a rehabilitation agency serving blind clients cannot undertake mental hygiene programming, it can still offer a comprehensive therapy program. Individual treatment, either by itself or in conjunction with group treatment, assures the client who is referred to a rehabilitation program for the blind of a comprehensive rehabilitation program in one agency. Without a therapeutic treatment program, the client could suffer immeasurably; with one, however, evidence has revealed that not only is the entire rehabilitation process shortened considerably, but that blind clients are now leaving as better adjusted human beings whose only limitation is blindness—a limitation for which they have been compensated through the integration of their emotions and other sensory modalities.
