Sažetak
Continuous development of various therapeutic and rehabilitation approaches requires continuous determination of new paradigms in order to provide a stable framework for dealing with illness and disability. Any way, we are entering into the new era of healing where therapy and rehabilitation approaches probably will enable a person to reach own physical capacities. But in this process we shouldn’t forget the importance of treating the person in its entirety. Namely, the presence of any disease, injury or disability can induce the feelings of suffering, anger, shame, sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, helplessness or loss of social and professional accomplishment. So, all these facts should be to fall within the scope of modern medicine, collaborating with principles of holistic medical practice. It is a thought that connects the knowledge from the past, present and the future. Following this idea, we are all invited to contribute to the creation of conditions that will enable a person to experience themselves as healthy, functional and satisfied. This is, in any case, a realistic and complex challenge that can enrich the field of therapy and rehabilitation in the 21st century.
