Contents:
Cover -- The Social Psychology of Disability -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Foreword -- Preface and Acknowledgments -- 1 Overview: The Social Psychology of Disability -- 2 Fundamental Psychosocial Concepts for Understanding Disability -- 3 Challenges: Stigma, Stereotyping, and Disability -- 4 Attitudes Toward People with Disabilities -- 5 Coping with and Adjusting to Disability -- 6 Towards an Understanding of Disability Identity -- 7 A Positive Psychology of Disability and Rehabilitation -- 8 The Ecology of Disability -- Notes -- References -- Index.
Summary: This book reviews classic and current scholarship on the experience of disability, emphasizing interactions between persons with disabilities (PWD) and non-disabled people. With respect to the treatment and counseling of PWDs, social psychological approaches aim to avoid biased, simplistic, and prejudicial conclusions by putting people first--not their disabilities. The book is aimed at students and professionals, though it will also help families, caregivers, and policy-makers understand the social psychology of disability.
