Rehabilitation is often organised in clinical departments, focusing on specific diagnoses and basic activities of daily living. Rehabilitation to work and rehabilitation for more "diffuse" symptoms, often present in functional disorders, is often not offered. Some studies centered on graded activity and cognitive therapy exist.
Can you propose any good studies in this field?
Dear Martin. This is an important question. May I suggest that you contact two of my Stavanger colleagues, who may have some helpful pointers. They are Professor Terje Murberg and Professor Edvin Bru, both on RG and both authors/researchers that I have worked with. Paul
Dear Martin. I link 3 articles about evaluation of rehabilitation to work for patients after brain traumatic injury. Is it these types of documents you are looking for ?

Thank you Paul
l will take a look at Terje and Edvins publications and contact them
Thank you Emanuelle. The last one looks interesting. Brain injury seems to be very objectively demonstrable and thus not to be considered functional or somatoform. But even rehabilitation after objective somatic diseases have many psychosocial aspects that may be relevant.
