This thoughtful collection addresses the issues faced by women with disabilities, examines the social construction of disability, and makes suggestions for the development and modification of culturally relevant therapy to meet the needs of disabled women. Written in an accessible style with a minimum of jargon, this book provides clinical material from the perspectives of psychotherapists, clients, personal assistants, and health administrators. Women with Visible and Invisible Disabilities also highlights the importance of considering age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation in its examination of feminist approaches to assessment, psychotherapy, disability management (coping), and discusses how the Americans with Disabilities Act impacts employment and education for women.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED,
By eResources Coordinator (Binghamton, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women With Visible and Invisible Disabilities: Multiple Intersections, Multiple Issues, Multiple Therapies (Paperback)
"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This book contains much valuable information that will lead to greater sensitivity in service delivery to this neglected group of women. Readers will learn about the wide range of disabilities these women manifest and about the variety of treatment approaches and health promotion programs that validate positive views of disability while at the same time encouraging healthy living in this special population."Reviewed By: Irene W. Leigh, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychology, Gallaudet University
