Call for papers, for Special issue in Disability Studies Counselling, Therapy, and Emancipatory Praxis Papers need to be between 4,000 and 6,000 words. Aim of special Issue To examine some of the ways in which counselling and therapy can be either oppressive or emanciaptory in its effects on disabled people. 1. How can counselling be made accessible to disabled people, as trainees and clients? 2. How can concerns about inclusion shape the practice of counselling and therapy. To what extent is a political education necessary for those working in 'rehab' or therapeutic professions? 3. Which orientations are most helpful in understanding disability and difference? 4. How can counselling and therapy foster a sense of entitlement and criticial resistance to oppression? 5. Do you have particular personal experiences of counselling or therapy which have implications for the above questions (either from the pespective of therapist/ counsellor or client)? 6. How useful is the concept of internalised oppression for a discussion of the experience of disability?What processes and contexts increase a persons vulnerability to internalised oppression. Papers which address psychoanalytic theory are particularly welcome, since this is an area which has tended not to be addressed within disability theorising.
