Beskrivning

Historically, interventions designed to impact the lives of disabled people were predicated upon deficits-based models of disability. This began to change with the introduction of World Health Organization (WHO) frameworks, particularly the International Classification of Function (ICF), that emphasized that disability could only be understood in the context of interactions among health, environmental factors, and personal factors and by examining the impact of such factors on a person’s activities and participation. The ICF identified personal factors as among the elements of a social-ecological model of disability but did not provide an extensive taxonomy of what constitutes such factors. The Positive Psychology of Personal Factors examines personal factors that come from the field of positive psychology and, as such, to begin to identify and build strengths-based approaches to promoting the full participation, dignity, and well-being of disabled people.

People with disabilities are said to be the largest minority group in the US: 25 percent of American adults live with disabilities. This varied population includes people with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, deafness, AIDS, arthritis, intellectual disabilities, chronic pain, and more. Views of disability have evolved over time. Having shifted from an earlier medical model, which portrayed disabilities from a deficit perspective, the current model is a more sophisticated biopsychological one that permits focusing on the complex interactions between individuals and requires learning about less-obvious elements of disability. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) incorporates this most-current model and encourages concerned researchers and practitioners to consider the interaction between health, environmental factors, and personal factors. In this volume, contributing authors focus specifically on personal factors, adopting a strength-based approach derived from positive psychology. Various authors take a very detailed look at certain strengths generally considered personal factors, including optimism, self-determination, hope, resilience, and social support, all of which have been shown to predict more beneficial outcomes for those with disabilities. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
