Overview

This retitled new edition places emphasis on the illness as well as the disability trajectory and its impact on an individual's well being. It also highlights the personal perspectives or stories of those faced with the many demands of living with a disability which adds to the books uniqueness. Perspectives that build a bridge between the documented research results or varying models of understanding disability and the realities that are ever-present when coping with severe handicaps are presented. This book will help the reader become aware that making this connection between relevant theory and insightful practice results in a more enhanced quality of life for all individuals living with the disability experience.
