Abstract

The process of psychological adjustment, which has to go on after high levelled lesions of the cervical spinal cord, passes through several phases. It needs a lot of empathy, plenty of time for confidential talks and psychological knowledge as well as an individualizing cooperation between the several levels and stages of combined treatment during rehabilitation. We could give this process a considerable advance by a (half-) automatic bedside-projection of belletristic literature, which can be continuously read on a screen from long film strips by means of a modified Pentacon system. The introduction of this new object in life proved a good support for the threatened personality of those badly handicapped patients.
