This study focuses on handicap as is meant in the French law of june 30, 1975 for handicapped persons. The method is content analysis applied to the law itself and to directly relevant official texts (Bloch Lainé report of 1967, motives statement of the law, debates in parliament, Cour des Comptes report of 1982, Lasry Gagneux report of 1983). Handicap thus explicited is twice impossible. In the first place the whole field of handicap is built upon a strong relationship between official services and the invalids while at the same time the law gives the committees total freedom to choose and change their definition of handicap. In the second place the fact of giving such a central place to invalidity and to the relationship between official services and invalids tends to deny the very characters of handicap. P.H.N. Wood's concept as published under the authority of World Health Organization, provides a possible definition of handicap in as much as it states its social nature (to be differentiated from invalidity) and it grants equal importance to the three interactions: person-state, state-milieu, and person-milieu.
本研究聚焦于1975年6月30日法国关于残疾人的法律中所指的残疾。研究方法是对法律本身以及直接相关的官方文本（1967年的布洛赫·莱内报告、法律动机声明、议会辩论、1982年审计法院报告、1983年拉斯里·加涅报告）进行内容分析。如此阐释的残疾是双重不可能的。首先，整个残疾领域建立在官方服务机构与残疾人间的紧密关系之上，而与此同时，法律赋予委员会完全的自由来选择并改变他们对残疾的定义。其次，将残疾以及官方服务机构与残疾人之间的关系置于如此核心地位的做法，往往会否定残疾本身的特性。世界卫生组织授权发布的P.H.N. 伍德的概念，给出了一个可能的残疾定义，因为它阐明了残疾的社会性质（与伤残相区分），并且赋予三种相互作用同等的重要性：人—状态、状态—环境和人—环境。
