Abstract:

"Disability introduces problems, psychological as well as practical, into the family system for the long haul - but the problems take different forms as all family members move through the different phases of the life cycle.

By looking at the issues through a wide-angle developmental lens rather than through the narrower windows of individual disorders, Marshak, Seligman, and Prezant identify the distinguishing challenges faced and posed by disabled persons during each phase as well as the core challenges common to all phases for everyone involved."--BOOK JACKET.
