In recent years, disability studies has been driven by a model of
disability which focuses on the social and economic oppression of
disabled people. Although an important counterbalance to a
pathologising medical model, the social model risks presenting an
impoverished and disembodied view of disability, one that ignores
the psychological nature of oppression and its effects. This
innovative work argues that a psychological framework of disability
is an essential part of developing a more cohesive disability
movement. Brian Watermeyer introduces a new, integrative approach,
using psychoanalysis to tackle the problem of conceptualising
psychological aspects of life with disablism. Psychoanalytic ideas
are applied to social responses to impairment, making sense of
discrimination in its many forms, as well as problems in disability
politics and research. The perspective explores individual
psychological experience, whilst retaining a rigorous critique of
social forces of oppression. The argument shows how it is possible
to theorise the psychological processes and impressions of
discriminatory society without pathologising disadvantaged
individuals. Drawing on sociology, social anthropology, psychology
and psychoanalysis - as well as clinical material - Towards a
Contextual Psychology of Disablism shapes a view of disabled
subjectivity which is embodied, internal, and political. Presenting
a range of conceptual ideas which describe psychological dynamics
and predicaments confronting disabled people in an exclusionary and
prejudiced world, this volume is an important new contribution to
the literature. It will interest students and researchers of
disability studies, including those working within psychology,
education, health and social work.
