Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this popular clinical reference and text provides a multisystems perspective on childhood disability and its effects on family life. The volume examines how child, family, ecological, and sociocultural variables intertwine to shape the ways families respond to disability, and how professionals can promote coping, adaptation, and empowerment. Accessible and engaging, the book integrates theory and research with vignettes and firsthand reflections from family members.

an absolute must 
2008-05-27
This is a super exploration of the issues involved on what happens when a child with special needs enters the famly system and the long term and wide ranging implications of the impact. Very thorough and hugely insightful and although no doubt aimed at professionals if, as a parent you want to scratch 'under the surface' then this book will prove truly valuable. Excellent.
