Recenzje

Contributors to Understanding the Experience of Disability help us explore our own perceptions, with the goal of empowering disabled persons. Reconceptualizing the experience of disability through the lens of social psychology provides the reader with the opportunity to rethink their assumptions about living with disability. Mitigating biases is the work of all clinicians, researchers, scholars, and advocates. Dunn and colleagues provide much needed guidance.
