“The pivotal role of critical psychotherapy in the emancipation of disabled people has been largely ignored. This foundational reading drives an essential conversation surrounding the potential of depth-oriented, subversive and liberatory psychotherapy. It uncovers the links between ableist ideology, material barriers to participation, and the subjective worlds of disabled people, through interrogating the unconscious underpinnings of inequality.” Brian Watermeyer, PhD “This extraordinary comprehensive handbook is the first to provide a relational and family-focused, systemic, contextual, and disability studies informed framework. This “go-to” text will be an extremely valuable resource to seasoned clinicians, scholars, and graduate students across mental healthcare disciplines. Manasi and colleagues provide a wealth of evidence-based therapeutic interventions as well as training and programmatic guidelines to help meet the challenges for disabled individuals, couples, and families.” John Rolland, PhD
