| Summary: | "Disability: Controversial Debates and Psychosocial Perspectives examines various theories and practices relating to disability. The focus of the work is not disabled people as "objects" of study but rather an analysis of disability as it has been historically and culturally constructed. The topics covered range from language and discourse, interpersonal relationships and "disability" professions to public policy and the politics of disability. This book is essential reading for students of Disability Studies as well as policy-makers and professionals in social policy, social work and nursing."--Publisher description. |
