Descrizione
Riepilogo:Shame and spirituality are two topics many people with physical and/or developmental disabilities find they must confront, but as “taboo” subjects in both the disability community and the helping professions, they are frequently left unrecognized and unaddressed. Yet in confronting these issues people of disability frequently become emotionally as well as spiritually whole. The authors discuss shame and spirituality for people of disability from childhood on, particularly within the religious family, placing emphasis on the socio-cultural aspect of disability with the concept of disaphobia. A definition of wholeness for individuals with disability from a religious perspective is also offered. The Christian clinician's role with persons of disability and their family members is also discussed.
