Disability and Psychology Critical

This book critically examines the relationship between disability studies and psychology. By illuminating the interpersonal, social, cultural, historical and political causes of "disability" (the exclusion of people with physical, sensory or intellectual impairments), the editors and contributors propose ideas for enabling psychological theory and practice.

Dan Goodley is a Lecturer in Inclusive Education at the University of Sheffield, and the Inclusive Education and Equality Research Centre. Rebecca Lawthom is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University and the Interpersonal and Organisational Development Research Group in the Department of Psychology and Speech Pathology.
