Since its approval in 2001 the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has increasingly shown utility in various application areas including vocational rehabilitation and disability evaluation.

Geared to the ICF, the book entitled Handbook of Vocational Rehabilitation and Disability Evaluation: Application and Implementation of the ICF outlines current science-based methods in assessing impairment and capabilities and emerging approaches to management specifically relating to work participation. It is part of the series "Handbooks in Health, Work, and Disability" of the Springer Publishing Company and was launched at the European Union of Medicine in Assurance and Social Security (EUMASS) Congress in Stockholm, Sweden on 12 September 2014.

Details about the book can be found on the Springer website: http://www.springer.com/medicine/book/978-3-319-08824-2.

It can also be ordered on various online portals.
