HI, I agree with these comments, however as a trainee counselling
psychologist I feel the psychological aspect cannot be put aside all
together. I do not for a moment think people labelled disabled or
chronically ill need therapy to 'adjust' or whatever but I do feel that if
a psychologist or therapist is seeing a client who has been labelled in
such a way they need to be informed about how to deal with it in order to
stop stereotypes and presumptions continuing. Thus I feel we can't afford to
reduce it down only to a social issue. Sarah.
