Dear Karin Barron
re query about literature on abuse, you might be interested in the
following:
Sobsey, R. (1994) Violence and Abuse in the Lives of People with
Disabilities, London: Brookes
Williams, C. (1995) Crime and Abuse Against People with Learning
Disabilities, London: Jessica Kingsley.
Marks, D. (1999) Disability: Controversial Debates and Psychosocial
Perspectives
( several sections address questions different kinds of abuse - and
especially looking at medical practices and emotional abuse).
Kenney, M. (1996) 'Sexual Abuse and Disabled Children' in J. Morris (ed)
Encounters with Strangers.
Ryan, J. and Thomas, F. (1987) The politics of Mental Handicap, London: Free
Association Books.
There are also a number of autobiographies which really give an insight into
subtle forms of abuse, such as Donna WIlliams writing (eg Nobody Nowhere).
Best

literature on different kinds of abuse of disabled women and men. I am
partly responsible for a new Mastersī programme here at the Department of
Sociology in Uppsala, Sweden. The students will eventually get a Masterīs
Degree in Sociology with special emphasis on social care and services.
Hoping for your assistance,
