Hi Michael, > Can anyone provide me with a medical model definition of 'disability' and > the reference details. > Many thanks, > Andrew Michael > NPTCBC. For medical 'model' definition of 'disability' read: defective, abnormal, broken, tainted, diseased, soiled, unclean, afflicted, infectious, unknown, dangerous, unwholesome, incomplete, difficult, depressing, worthless, invalid, in urgent need of inspection, study, debate, experiment, repair, cure, fix and normalisation - if this is not possible then any or all of the following: institutionalise, hide, separate, exclude, display, pathologise, label, patronise, pity, feed and water, drug, dump, amputate, discard, burn or otherwise terminate (preferably at birth). References: anywhere and everywhere, all around and about us like the very air we breathe, far too numerous to mention.
