Ruth O'Brien traces the origins of this resistance to the postwar disability policies inspired by physicians and psychoanalysts that were based on the notion that disabled people should accommodate society rather than having society accommodate them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eO'Brien shows how the remnants of postwar cultural values bogged down the rights-oriented policy in the 1970s and how they continue to permeate judicial interpretations of provisions under the Americans with Disabilities Act. In effect, O'Brien argues, these decisions have created a lose\/lose situation for the very people the act was meant to protect. Covering developments up to the present, \u003ci\u003eCrippled Justice\u003c\/i\u003e is an eye-opening story of government officials and influential experts, and how our legislative and judicial institutions have responded to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226616592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226616599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.26w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 1999","brand":"Ruth O'Brien","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447603048703,"sku":"9780226616599","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d783b2b-c0fe-4367-9c6a-71aa5985add0.jpg?v=1777233792","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crippled-justice-ruth-obrien-9780226616599","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
