Focus on Disability - Trends in Research & Application: Volume 2 (Hardcover)

Although most communities of disabled people have moved to the social model, in which society needs to be "cured," much research about disability has stayed well within the bounds of the medical model, in which the disability must be "cured." This collection of 12 essays varies in its approach between both, covering classification of the condition of elders, running assessments of people for assistive technology, taking a community-based approach in research about health and disability, peer mentoring (whether to enforce the medical model or not), alternative and complementary medicine among the disabled, the training of parents of children with chronic conditions, self-management of long-term health conditions, stress in family caregivers of people with cancer, experiences of Germans with myasthenia gravis, and socio-psychological aspects of obesity in children and adolescents. Readers should verify data independently and check for more timely references.
