What are the differences between individuals with disabilities who flourish and those who never really adjust after a trauma? How do those born with a disability differ from individuals who acquire one later in life? Fully updated and revised, this second edition of a unique rehabilitation counseling text reflects growing disparities among “haves” and “have-nots” as they bear on the psychosocial aspects of disability. New content focuses on returning veterans afflicted with physical and mental health problems, persons with disabilities living in poverty, and the need for increased family and community-based engagement. The book provides updated information about assisted suicide, genetic testing, new legislation, and much more.Using a minority model perspective, the text provides students and practitioners of rehabilitation and mental health counseling with vivid insight into the experience of living with a disability. It features first-person narratives from people living with a variety of disabling conditions, which are integrated with sociological and societal perspectives toward disability, and strategies for counseling such individuals. The text encompasses a historical perspective, psychological and sociological research, cultural variants regarding disability, myths and misconceptions, the attitudes of special interest and occupational groups, the use of positive psychology, and adjustments to disability by the individual and family. A wealth of counseling guidelines and useful strategies is geared to individuals with specific disabilities. Designed for a 15-week semester, the book also includes thought-provoking discussion questions and exercises.New to the Second Edition:Reflects the growing disparities between “haves” and “have-nots” as they impact people with disabilitiesIncludes new content on veterans with physical and mental disabilitiesDescribes the experience of impoverished individuals with disabilitiesExamines the need for increased family and community-based engagementDiscusses strengths and weaknesses of the Americans With Disabilities ActCovers assisted suicide, genetic testing, and recent legislationIncludes expanded coverage of sexual identityProvides an Instructor’s Manual and PowerPoints as supplemental downloadsKey Features:Provides 16 personal narratives demonstrating the “normalcy” of individuals with different types of disabling conditionsIncludes stories of people living with blindness, hearing impairments, spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, mental illness, and other disabilitiesDelivers counseling strategies geared toward specific disabilities, with “do’s” and “don’ts”Discusses ongoing treatment issues and ethical dilemmas for rehabilitation counselors

Presents an innovative family-based approach to rehabilitation counseling that can be put to use immediately!While the family has traditionally been a secondary consideration in rehabilitation, this graduate text presents an innovative approach to rehabilitation counseling that focuses on the family as the center of a person-centered model, rather than as an adjunct to individual counseling. It advocates counseling in the context of community, requiring the recognition of social transaction as the primary focus of all interventions. The book provides the tools and knowledge base to effectively work with the family and within the community, delivering a new inclusive model of care and establishing best practices in research, practice, training, and management.The text examines the rationale for embracing family values in rehabilitation counseling and provides a framework that redefines the relationship between counselor and client in the context of family and community. It describes the community-based rehabilitation model in detail according to the International Classification of Function (ICF) and presents a series of illustrative disability profilesódistilled from systematic reviews of the literatureóreflecting this framework. In each case, the impact upon family participation is illustrated and optimal service and support resources are identified. The role and function of the rehabilitation counselor provide the integrative conclusion to each chapter. The book also describes grassroots initiatives, the role of family in community-based rehabilitation in developing countries, family policy across rehabilitation systems, and best practices in research, training, and management. Additionally, the text comes with access to an Instructor's Manual that includes case study discussion questions, classroom activities, and multiple-choice questions.Key Features:Describes an innovative family-/community-focused approach to rehabilitation counseling, framed in ICF taxonomyPresents a pragmatic model that can be put to use immediatelyDescribes an array of family experiences across disability contexts, providing an opportunity to critique current practice through the lens of community-based constructsProvides plentiful case studies based on family narrativesBroadens the scope of practice with service initiatives from around the worldIncludes an Instructor's Manual with case study discussion questions, classroom activities, and multiple-choice questions
