"Dunn has turned out an excellent collection of 21 contributions by some 50 leading researchers, all examining the nexus between two related disciplines: rehabilitation psychology and social psychology...The resources and references contributors cite are indicative of the high caliber of literature reviews conducted in support of each chapter. This primer highlights the diverse experiences of individuals with disabilities, whether congenital or acquired; is expertly organized; and will be an essential reference for concerned policy makers." -- D.J. Winchester, Columbia University, CHOICE "Dunn and a team of luminaries here share advances at the intersection of social and rehabilitation psychology. The authors do not rest with a discussion of theory. They outline how developments can be applied to improve care and policy" -- Gitendra Uswatte, PhD, Past-President, Division of Rehabilitation Psychology, American Psychological Association "Dana S. Dunn and his contributors provide essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners on the experience of disability and rehabilitation. They build on pioneering works by developing theoretical insights and evidence-based practice guidance that informs practice and social policy" -- Allen W. Heinemann, PhD, ABPP, Professor, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Northwestern University "Contributors to Understanding the Experience of Disability help us explore our own perceptions, with the goal of empowering disabled persons. Reconceptualizing the experience of disability through the lens of social psychology provides the reader with the opportunity to rethink their assumptions about living with disability. Mitigating biases is the work of all clinicians, researchers, scholars, and advocates. Dunn and colleagues provide much needed guidance." -- Lisa A. Brenner, PhD, Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, and Neurology, University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus
