Rehabilitation is dedicated to helping people not only survive, but
also thrive. Despite this complex goal, the organizing principles
of rehabilitation still rely on biomedicine to construct disability
as a problem of impaired bodies. Rehabilitation professionals are
committed to helping to enhance people's lives, but many struggle
with how to do so in light of the bigger questions regarding their
roles in, for example, working to maintain hope for recovery and/or
promoting greater acceptance of diverse abilities. A key problem is
the lack of theoretical tools for working through the function of
rehabilitation in the lives of disabled people. Rehabilitation, for
the most part, reflects a narrow mechanistic conception of
movement. It considers movements of body structures such as joints,
functional movements such as walking, or more recently, how
movement and mobility facilitate participation in social roles.
Despite a nascent concern with the environmental factors
contributing to disablement, movement is still focused primarily on
mobilizing people's bodies. Rehabilitation: A Post-critical
Approach reexamines the philosophical foundations of
rehabilitation, expanding the concept of movement beyond the
physical body. Drawing from disability studies, sociology,
anthropology, philosophy, cultural studies, and bioethics, this
theoretically rigorous yet accessibly styled text: Explores the
limitations of biomedicine as the organizing framework of
rehabilitation Evaluates new directions to diversify contemporary
rehabilitation practice Establishes the parameters for a
reconfigured ethics of rehabilitation By embracing multiple ideas
of movement not only physical, but also social, emotional, and
political alternative approaches to rehabilitation are revealed.
