Therapists, 2nd Edition (Ferguson's Careers in Focus) Summary:By David Strelecky
Introduction Therapists help injured, disabled, or emotionally disturbed people regain their strength to the fullest extent possible. There are many different kinds of therapists, each with special knowledge and special skills. Art therapists, for instance, use art to help resolve patients’ physical, emotional, and social problems. Grief therapists counsel people who are mourning the death of a family member or loved one. Physical therapists help their patients to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and avoid permanent disability. Rehabilitation counselors help disabled people address life and work issues. Respiratory therapists and technicians assist patients who have deficiencies or abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system. In short, there is a therapist for almost any type of physical or emotional disability. Therapists are valued health care professionals. Educational requirements vary for therapists. Some therapist positions, such as aromatherapists, hypnotherapists, and massage therapists, require only some postsecondary training, while other positions, such as occupational therapists and physical therapists, require workers to have earned a bachelor’s or master’s degree, respectively. Therapists work in a variety of settings, including private offices, hospitals, clinics, managed-care facilities, nursing homes, and private homes. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment in the health services industry is projected to increase by 27 percent through 2014—nearly double the growth predicted for all industries. Most therapy careers have bright employment outlooks. Therapy careers that will enjoy especially strong growth include aromatherapists, biofeedback therapists, grief therapists, massage therapists, myotherapists, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants and aides, orientation and mobility specialists, physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, rehabilitation counselors, and respiratory therapists and technicians. Each article in Careers in Focus: Therapists discusses a particular therapy occupation in detail. The articles appear in Ferguson’s Encyclopedia of Careers and Vocational Guidance but have been updated and revised with the latest information from the U.S. Department of Labor and other sources.
