Disability and the Family Life Cycle (Families and Health Series)by Laura E. Marshak
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The study of disability and its clinical treatment has become exponentially more complex as ever more interventions are developed that increase the life span. Consequently, developmental challenges facing people with disabilities and their families change throughout a lifetime.<P>Unlike other texts, which concentrate only on the childhood years, Disability and the Family Life Cycle covers the entire life span within the family context, emphasizing maturational issues, with each chapter focusing on a different period of life. Disability and the Family Life-Cycle is the only book to cover such topics as adult sons and daughters with disabilities, the developmental needs of the disabled elderly, and the needs of spouses and siblings. Book News Annotation:Looks at issues disabled persons and their families face through a
developmental lens rather than through the narrower lens of
individual disorders, identifying challenges faced and posed by
disabled persons during each phase of the life cycle as well as core
challenges common to all phases for everyone involved. Diagnoses a
core social failure in addition to the core social insult of
stigmatization: failure to provide compensatory opportunities for the
flexing of developmental muscles in keeping with the disability's
constraints. Includes comments from 125 families representing a range
of neuro-psychiatric and physiological disabilities. The editor is a
professor in the rehabilitation program at Indian University of
Pennsylvania.
