This book investigates how being diagnosed with various
disabilities impacts on identity. Once diagnosed with a disability,
there is a risk that this label can become the primary status both
for the person diagnosed as well as for their family. This
reification of the diagnosis can be oppressive because it
subjugates humanity in such a way that everything a person does can
be interpreted as linked to their disability. Drawing on narrative
approaches to identity in psychology and social sciences, the
bio-psycho-social model and a holistic approach to disabilities,
the chapters in this book understand disability as constructed in
discourse, as negotiated among speaking subjects in social
contexts, and as emergent. By doing so, they amplify voices that
may have otherwise remained silent and use storytelling as a way of
communicating the participants' realities to provide a more
in-depth understanding of their point of view. This book will be of
interest to all scholars and students of disability studies,
sociology, medical humanities, disability research methods,
narrative theory, and rehabilitation studies.
