This introductory text defines and describes disability, while
providing concrete practice guidelines and recommendations for
students in the fields of counseling, social work, and the helping
professions. Various specialty areas are explored in detail,
including marriage and family counseling, adolescent counseling,
addictions counseling, LGBTQ concerns, multicultural counseling,
and career counseling. The first three chapters lay the foundations
by discussing the demand for counseling services by individuals
with all types of disabilities; presenting clinical, legal,
medical/biological, and personal definitions of disability; and
describing physical, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities. Next,
author Julie Smart examines core beliefs about disability using a
range of first-person accounts from experienced counselors. The
last six chapters focus on practice guidelines for various aspects
of disability-including ethical considerations, societal issues,
social role demands, and individual responses-and consider new
possibilities for disability counseling professions. With rich case
studies woven throughout, as well as valuable information on client
needs, disability categorizations, and key Models of Disability,
this essential textbook will be useful not only to counseling
students but also to professional counselors, social workers, and
psychologists.
