Résumé

The present paper describes the profession of Rehabilitation Counselling and the work the Peruvian Institute for Rehabilitation in Lima does for the dis- abled. The Rehabilitation Counsellor works in dose connection with doctors, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers and other psychologists. The patient’s eligibility for treatment is determined by means of an inter­view, medical reports and other information. Through psychological and vocational tests, a vocational evaluation is per formed and the patient is located at a controlled work center where he can be observed by the counsellor. The most difficult part of the counsellor’s job is the achievement of per­manent employment for his patient and in getting civic leaders' and business­men’s attention and cooperation to create job opportunities for the disabled. The final practice is "following-up”, that is, keeping in contact with the patient once the agency services are over. Rehabilitation counselling offers young people with a creative mind a pro­fessional field with a great deal of freedom for personal goals and methods of work.
