| Abstract: | The present author responds to the article by J. Stubbins (see record 1985-31779-001) on rehabilitation services as ideology by providing an analysis of historical and philosophical bases of disability policies. It is posited that socioeconomic forces have influenced rehabilitation services' focus upon the individual client and that their impact persists despite evidence of the ineffectiveness of this approach. It is suggested that what Stubbins says could be valid for all human-service programs. (7 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
