Rehabilitation psychology

introduction and status of the field in Denmark

Abstract

Rehabilitation psychology is still a young field of research and practice in Denmark, despite a 50+ years history internationally. The first thorough introduction in Danish came with a PhD dissertation in 2015 called “Seize the Person” (Glintborg, 2015). Since then, the field has grown to influence Danish national guidelines in the disability area with a strengthened focus on psychosocial dimensions. This article introduces rehabilitation psychology and provides a current overview of the field’s status in Denmark.
