"A refreshing addition to a body of literature which usually lacks any alternative to the medical model....A very useful resource for teaching alternative ways to perceive disability."--Review of Disability Studies "Since most social workers and therapists will at some point in their career work with clients with disabilities. What Psychotherapists Should Know About Disability is an important and useful book....Jargon-free, the book is straightforward and immensely readable....Although not all of us have to live with disabilities, most of us will have friends and family with disabilities at some time in our lives. This book can help inform us and make us more sensitive and less afraid in both our professional and personal lives."--Social Work Today "...a comprehensive book providing the knowledge and skills that mental health professionals, including social workers, need for more effective, informed work with clients with disabilities."--Journal of Social Work in Disability & Rehabilitation "Finally, we are gifted with a book about the disability experience for therapists written from the disability community's perspective....The overall tenor of this book is uplifting as it presents disability as a fact of human life, not the tragedy society has taught us all to believe that it is. The book is, in essence, a community manifesto, as well as a professional manual, laid out in very clear and compelling language, making its information accessible to psychotherapists, students and researchers alike....I found this book to be the best and 'safest' read about the disability experience I have encountered thus far in the professional literature. It reflects my truth as I have lived it and teaches others to honor our community's struggle as we experience it."--Community Mental Health Journal "Sometimes it is not the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth we need to hear; it is selected parts of the truth, with overemphasis on crucial parts that have been ignored. The Olkin book does this exceedingly well. I hope it will be widely read because I am convinced that, as more people possess the knowledge this book conveys, the quality of life for people with disabilities will improve."--Contemporary Psychology "Dr. Rhoda Olkin's new and comprehensive text is a resource that is long overdue. Using her own training and expertise as a therapist, social researcher, and theorist in concert with her life experiences as a person with a disability, Dr. Olkin opens vistas on the disability experience that are seldom addressed in clinical training programs....its 'insider information' and discussion of the common experiences and needs among people with disabilities should make it required reading for anyone interested in or working in the helping professions."--DD Quarterly "A comprehensive volume which provides knowledge and skills that mental health professionals need for more effective, informed work with clients with disabilities." --Parenting with a Disability "The strengths of the book are many. [Olkin] provides evidence based in research for her claims and she writes very well. She also uses many case examples from her own therapy practice. These clinical examples are very helpful in making her theoretical points concrete. As a family therapist, I value her family systems approach. She speaks as an expert rooted in science and as an expert rooted in her own personal experience of disability. The combination of these two provide a strong argument. I found myself challenged on a number of issues and have since rethought some of my work with disabled persons....The experience of reading this book was like feasting at a rich banquet. There was always more." --Journal of Religion, Disability and Health "The author's 'Human Rights of Children with Disabilities'...is a useful summary that alone is w, "Simply put, this is the best book on psychotherapy I've read in years. It is not only a superb guide to treating clients with disabilities; it is also an eloquent reminder of what systems-oriented therapy at its most creative can actually be. More broadly, Olkin opens us up to a compelling vision of how clinicians, teachers, and researchers can play an active role in ushering in a more just and diversity-valuing society." --Morris Taggart, PhD, Psychologist and Family Therapist "This book is destined to become a classic. It is by far the most comprehensive and well-written text on the topic. Psychologists, social workers, educators, human resource specialists, and employers will find much of value. Olkin not only does a masterful job of integrating theory, research, and practice; she also communicates the human dimensions of disability. She speaks passionately and forcefully, providing personal insights that help readers understand the experiential reality of disability. This book is helping me to confront biases, stereotypes, and discomfort that may obstruct my interactions with students, clients, and acquaintances with disabilities. I am confident that it will make me a more effective clinician. This is a 'must read' for helping professionals and educators." --Derald Wing Sue, PhD, President, Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues, Division 45 of the American Psychological Association "Olkin has produced a comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the significant issues that impact upon the lives of people with disabilities. Organized, concise chapters address dating and romance, sexuality, advocacy, discrimination and stress, treatment and pain, and a plethora of other significant topics. The bibliography is outstanding. This book is not just for psychotherapists--it is a vital resource for anyone who studies disability or is involved in the care or treatment of people with disabilities." --Mark Nagler, PhD, Professor of Sociology and Disability Studies, Department of Sociology, Renison College, University of Waterloo, Canada "This book is a groundbreaking bridge between the disability community and the mental health profession. A comprehensive and practical resource containing a thorough review of the literature, it is replete with original analyses and illustrative clinical vignettes. Olkin's humor, honesty, and sharing of personal disability experience make this an absorbing work. It will inform mental health trainees and will be of interest to practitioners and researchers, whether or not they have disability expertise." --Megan Kirshbaum, PhD, Executive Director, Through the Looking Glass; Co-Director, National Resource Center for Parents with Disabilities, Berkeley, California "Counseling students can greatly benefit from learning more about working with people with disabilities. I try to integrate this topic in every course I teach." --Susan H. Packard, Graduate Education-Counseling Department, Gwynedd-Mercy College, "A refreshing addition to a body of literature which usually lacks any alternative to the medical model....A very useful resource for teaching alternative ways to perceive disability."--Review of Disability Studies "Since most social workers and therapists will at some point in their career work with clients with disabilities.What Psychotherapists Should Know About Disabilityis an important and useful book....Jargon-free, the book is straightforward and immensely readable....Although not all of us have to live with disabilities, most of us will have friends and family with disabilities at some time in our lives.

Synopsis
Provides the knowledge and skills that mental health professionals need for work with clients with disabilities. Contains clinical examples and observations, also discusses teaching, training and research., This comprehensive volume provides the knowledge and skills that mental health professionals need for more effective, informed work with clients with disabilities. Combining her extensive knowledge as a clinician, researcher, and teacher with her personal experience as someone with a disability, Olkin provides an insider's perspective on critical issues that are often overlooked in training.

Illuminating frequently encountered psychosocial themes and concerns, chapters describe a range of approaches to dealing with disability issues in the treatment of adults, children, and families. Topics addressed include etiquette with clients with disabilities; special concerns in assessment, evaluation, and diagnosis; the impact of disability on sexuality and romance, as well as pregnancy, birthing, and parenting; the use of assistive technology and devices; disability and substance abuse; and more. Filled with clinical examples and observations, the volume also discusses strategies for enhancing teaching, training, and research.
