Abstract

The history of psychotherapy and physical disability is reviewed. The scope of the review ranges from the early writings to contemporary findings on psychotherapy with the physically disabled. Particular attention is given to the prepsychoanalytic work of Charcot and Janet on neurological diseases and trauma, respectively. Psychoanalytic concepts are reviewed as they relate to physical disability and they are compared with contemporary themes involving trauma and loss.
