O knihe

This is the only text to examine the experience of disability in relation to theories of human growth
and development. It provides a foundational and comprehensive examination of disability that
encompasses the intellectual, psychiatric, physical, and social arenas. The second edition is updated
to underscore its versatility as an introductory text about the developmental tasks of people with
disabilities for all the helping professions. Reorganized to illuminate the book's interdisciplinary focus,
it includes new demographics, new case studies and first-person accounts, discussions on cultural
aspects of disabilities, family concerns, and more.
The text delivers practice guidelines for each of the conventional life stages and describes the
developmental tasks of individuals with disabilities (IWDs). It emphasizes the positive trend in the
perception of IWDs as normal and underscores the fact that IWDs have the same motivations,
emotions, and goals as those without disabilities. Learning activities, suggestions for writing exercises,
and websites for further study reinforce learning, as do graphs and charts illustrating trends and
demographics.
