A adjustment to severe disability is accompanied by significant changes in several dimensions - psychological (lowered self-esteem), physical (restricted mobility) and social(changed social identity, the epithet disabled). Such sudden changes also require short-term (physical) and long-term (psychological and social) adjustments. In other words, the investigation of adjustment to disablity provides a uniuqe opportunity to explore facets of human adjustment strategies and processes. This book bridges gaps among disability, culture, and communication and it offers the reader a rare glimpse of a world of people with disabilities in which their identity granformations, communication tactics as the disabled, or adjustment to new bodies, including temporal and spatial senses, emerge. The book is informative for health professionals or students of communication, sociology, disability studies, cultural studies, or medical anthropology who wish to explore disability from a social science perspective
