TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Foreword to the Fourth Edition A1 - Ciccone, Charles D. PY - 2016 T2 - Pharmacology in Rehabilitation AB - There are very peculiar ways in which one can mark time. We often do so by observing the rate at which our siblings, children, or grandchildren grow, especially when we are not in daily contact, or by how we inevitably underestimate the length of time transpired since we last encountered an old friend. In this context, it seems remarkable that over 13 years have transpired since I first discussed with Chuck Ciccone the prospects for a text on pharmacology for our Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation. The realization that the first edition of Pharmacology in Rehabilitation appeared more than a decade ago is even more astounding. The basis for the genesis of such a book was founded on the belief that rehabilitation specialists received little formal training about drug interactions and how any single pharmacological agent could impact either treatment plans or outcomes. Chuck took it upon himself to generate a text that would address this educational and clinical shortcoming. The result is very clear. Pharmacology in Rehabilitation is the “gold standard” among all texts addressing this content for nonphysician rehabilitation specialists. SN - PB - F. A.
