Quality of Life and Disability
An Approach for Community Practitioners
Ivan Brown and Roy I. Brown
Foreword by Ann Turnbull and Rud Turnbull
April 2003 176 pages ISBN 1 84310 005 3 pb


£15.95/$24.95 Quality of life ? physical, psychological and environmental well-being ? is a crucial consideration for professionals working with people with a disability. The authors of this practical book apply ideas about quality of life to the field of disability to assist front-line professionals, managers and policymakers in effective service provision. They examine the historical context of the concept of quality of life, and discuss the application of quality of life in the daily lives of people who are disabled. Using recent studies to show how the development of quality of life models have led to changes in rehabilitation, and how an understanding of the issue can inform practice in assessment, intervention, management and policy, this is an indispensable book for all practitioners and managers working with people with disabilities. Ivan Brown is Director of the Disability Support Unit at the Centre for Health Promotion, University of Toronto. Roy I. Brown is Foundation Professor at the School of Special Education and Disability Studies, Flinders University of South Australia. CONTENTS: Foreword.
