Disabilities have historically been constructed as biological truth, leading to medicalization and positioning disabled people's problems as discrete and ahistorical. This volume challenges this by viewing disability as culturally-constructed, emerging from interactions between individuals and institutional/social systems. The perspective treats "able-bodiedness" or "dis/abled-bodiedness" as produced by and existing in discourse rather than inherent characteristics. While not denying bodily realities of impairment, Discursive Psychology (DP) focuses on how these realities are negotiated within social practices.
