Nothing is of greater interest to most people than the quality
of their lives. They go to great lengths to improve the quality of
their lives and engage a variety of professionals to achieve that
goal. Despite this, little has been done to increase understanding
of quality of life, the factors that contribute to it, or the means
of improving it. Friedman redresses this neglect and enhances our
understanding of disability and its treatment.
This book addresses the need, felt by professionals as well as
the people they serve, for a better understanding of quality of
life and how to improve it. Friedman makes a number of important
contributions toward this end. He integrates and summarizes the
diverse research on quality-of-life indicators and focuses and
defines quality of life as a field of study.
Friedman presents a holistic approach to quality of life. While
many have recognized the need for such an approach, it has been
given little more than lip service. By redressing the lack of
understanding of what quality of life means, the factors that
contribute to it, and the means to improve it, he has provided a
book that will be of great interest to scholars, researchers, and
professionals in a number of areas, from counseling to nursing, and
to interested lay people.
