Despite the author's experiences as a nurse and parent of a young adult with physical disabilities, the author had much to learn about the culture surrounding disability. The contemporary "minority-group" model for disability replaces a medical model that views people with disabilities in need of remediation. Disability rights advocates often criticize health professionals, citing erroneous assumptions and failure to understand the perspectives of disabled persons. The author illustrates applications for clinical practice by health professionals with excerpts from a qualitative study that explored the spiritual experiences of adults with physical disabilities and family members as well as their responses to lived experience with disability.
尽管作者身为护士，且是一名身体有残疾的年轻人的家长，但在残疾文化方面仍有许多需要学习的地方。当代的残疾“少数群体”模式取代了将残疾人视为需要矫正的医学模式。残疾权利倡导者经常批评健康专业人士，指出他们存在错误的假设，且未能理解残疾人的观点。作者通过一项定性研究的节选内容，阐述了健康专业人士在临床实践中的应用，该研究探讨了身体有残疾的成年人及其家庭成员的精神体验，以及他们对残疾生活经历的反应。
