Book Description
La question de la visibilité du handicap est parfois jugée négligeable, puisqu’elle est liée à l’apparence, à des éléments superficiels et susceptibles d’être aisément relativisés. Pourtant il n’en est rien. L’apparence est une composante de l’identité et de l’image de soi, qu’on soit en situation de handicap ou non. Les atteintes organiques peuvent tellement attirer le regard qu’elles font disparaître la personne, ses capacités ou sa personnalité, sous le handicap. Inversement, le fait d’être porteur d’une différence invisible peut créer des difficultés sociales : comment expliquer que l’on ne peut pas agir comme les autres en raison d’une douleur chronique, d’une neurospécificité ou d’une souffrance psychique récurrente ? Bien entendu, on peut être atteint d’un handicap très visible, trop visible par la déformation qu’il imprime au corps, mais dont la part la plus gênante (comme la douleur) est invisible : visibilité et invisibilité peuvent donc se combiner. Les auteurs abordent ces questions à travers des exemples précis. Que le handicap soit visible ou invisible, ils montrent les conséquences psychosociales liées au poids de la stigmatisation en raison de l’apparence dans la construction de l’image de soi. Cet ouvrage est issu du 16e séminaire interuniversitaire international sur la clinique du handicap (SIICLHA)

Book Description
This introductory text defines and describes disability, while providing concrete practice guidelines and recommendations for students in the fields of counseling, social work, and the helping professions. Various specialty areas are explored in detail, including marriage and family counseling, adolescent counseling, addictions counseling, LGBTQ concerns, multicultural counseling, and career counseling. The first three chapters lay the foundations by discussing the demand for counseling services by individuals with all types of disabilities; presenting clinical, legal, medical/biological, and personal definitions of disability; and describing physical, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities. Next, author Julie Smart examines core beliefs about disability using a range of first-person accounts from experienced counselors. The last six chapters focus on practice guidelines for various aspects of disability—including ethical considerations, societal issues, social role demands, and individual responses—and consider new possibilities for disability counseling professions. With rich case studies woven throughout, as well as valuable information on client needs, disability categorizations, and key Models of Disability, this essential textbook will be useful not only to counseling students but also to professional counselors, social workers, and psychologists.
