Synopsis: The latest edition, 20 years after the first, incorporates the many changes that have occurred in disability-related language, legislation, technology, and research. Its two sections focus first on the disability experience a chronicle of what it's like to be disabled and how objective and subjective experiences affect the basic functions of living, working, and playing and then on interventions a response to the problems and sources of psychological pain exposed by the discussions in the first section. Vash (a writer and consulting psychologist in Altadena, Calif. ) and Crewe (Michigan State U. ) see their work as both a textbook or collateral reading source for those studying the psychological aspects of disability, and a general resource for rehabilitation professionals.
