This book addresses the issues faced by women with disabilities, examines the social construction of disability, and makes suggestions for the development and modification of culturally relevant therapy to meet the needs of disabled women. Most of the chapters in this book address the concerns of age, ethnicity, size, relationships, sexual orientation, and other social situations that complicate the lives of women with disabilities. Several of the contributing authors address safety concerns and the vulnerability of these women, while others focus on successful coping strategies. Feminist therapists describe the extensions they have made to traditional psychotherapy in order to directly address a wide range of issues faced by their female clients with disabilities.
