Rehabilitation

A Post-critical Approach

Beschreibung

This book reexamines the philosophical foundations of physical rehabilitation, expanding the understanding of movement beyond the physical body. Drawing from disability studies, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, cultural studies, and bioethics, this theoretically rigorous yet accessibly styled text explores the limitations of biomedicine as the organizing framework of rehabilitation, evaluates new directions to diversify rehabilitation practice, and establishes the parameters for a reconfigured ethics of rehabilitation. By embracing multiple ideas of movement-not only physical, but also social, emotional, and political-new approaches to rehabilitation are revealed.
