This provocative book illustrates how the Americans with Disabilities Act has failed to alleviate discrimination against people with mental disabilities. Rich in descriptions of court cases and disability law, Susan Stefan shows how the ADA has been applied in a wide range of are as, such as employment, insurance, medical care, education, and profes sional licensing. Throughout, Stefan, a professor of law, intertwines moving first person accounts with a wealth of hard to find information (complaints under the ADA court settlements, opinion letters, and tes timony from Congressional hearings).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Unequal Rights: Discrimination Against People with Mental Disabilities and the Americans with Disabilities ACT (Law and Public Policy: Psychology and the Social Sciences) (Hardcover)
Susan Stefan's book, "Unequal Rights" is published by the American Psychological Association and, as such, it bears both the benefits (high quality) and liabilities (periodically it feels elementary and on occasion, she pushes the spheres of logic) of such a publication. It is written in an excellent, scholarly yet quite readable manner. It covers germane topics. It is an invaluable resource for targeted scholars, professionals, caregivers, and ADA clients. Overall, this is an excellent book and well worth the purchase price for anyone who works with ADA or MD folks!
