Abstract/Artist's Statement
Almost a decade and a half ago, the terms “psychologically informed practice” and “psychologically informed physical therapy” entered the academic world. The latter is a subset of the former, and both are imperatively new and important methods of practicing healthcare that bolster and enhance a world that has learned that there are better ways to care for each other – a way that combines physical care and psychological care into one. A review of critical literature from its genesis to its current standing on the stage of empirical study will serve to guide and enlighten any person on nearly everything in regards to the practice, be they completely new to psychology or healthcare as a whole, or a physical therapist looking to learn healing methods of the future.
