"The book before you is more than simply a case for reflexivity in, and theoretical reflections on, rehabilitation: it is an important contribution to a burgeoning space of inquiry, to disability studies of rehabilitation. … Gibson does a great service."
—From the Foreword by Thomas Abrams, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada
