This collection of original essays, from both established scholars and newcomers, takes up a recent debate in philosophy, sociology, and disability studies on whether disability is intrinsically a harm that lowers a person's quality of life. While this is a new question in disability scholarship, it also touches on one of the oldest philosophical questions: what is the good human life? Historically, philosophers have not been interested in the topic of disability, and when they are it is usually only in relation to questions such as euthanasia, abortion, or the moral status of disabled people. Consequently disability has been either ignored by moral and political philosophers or simply equated with a bad human life, a life not worth living. This collection takes up the challenge that disability poses to basic questions of political philosophy and bioethics, among others, by focusing on fundamental issues and practical implications of the relationship between disability and the good human life.

Disability & Justice: The Capabilities Approach in Practice is an interdisciplinary examination of the practical application of the capabilities approach viewed through the lens of the experience of disability. Careful and critical examination of vital foundational concepts is undertaken prior to contextualizing the experience of disability and how we might begin to promote an inclusive society through an application of the capabilities approach.

This study brings together two important literatures together in the one volume. One concerns the role of quality assessments in social policy, especially health policy. The second concerns ethical and social issues raised by prenatal testing for disability. Hitherto, these two literatures have had little contact with each other: few scholars have written about both, or have compared the two domains in a systematic way, while people with disabilities and disability scholars are underrepresented in recent discussion on health policy and quality of assessment. This book turns the perspectives of disability scholars on issues that have largely been the province of health methodology, policy and philosophy, while angling philosophical policy analysis on problems that have largely been the province of disability scholarship. This volume will be sought after by bioethicists, philosophers, and specialists in disability studies and healthcare economics.

Quatrième de couverture : "Depuis 2001, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) promeut l’utilisation de la classification internationale du fonctionnement, du handicap et de la santé (CIF) pour la collecte de données dans le domaine du handicap et de la dépendance.Ce manuel d’utilisation de la CIF présente des outils pratiques et standardisés permettant aux cliniciens et praticiens de décrire et d’évaluer de façon simple et rapide le fonctionnement des patients. Il explique la notion de « batteries de codes CIF », qui sont autant de sélections de catégories de la CIF s’appliquant à différents types de problèmes de santé.S’adressant à tous les professionnels exerçant une pratique clinique (médecine physique et de réadaptation, kinésithérapeutes, infirmier[ères], psychologues…), ainsi qu’aux étudiants et formateurs dans le champ de la santé, cet ouvrage propose de nombreuses études de cas et des exemples pratiques. En complément de l’ouvrage, un site Internet (www.icf-core-sets.org), disponible en français, permet la création de formulaires de recueil de données."
