What Psychotherapists Should Know about Disability by Rhoda Olkin
Nonfiction. What the title says, and a whole lot more. This was, in a word, great. It's one of those books that doesn't pretend at any answers, and that
wants you to walk away better equipped to keep asking questions of your own. It's geared towards clinicians, obviously, and it addresses incredibly difficult
subjects head on, like what ethical/professional responsibilities a clinician has towards a client with a disability who is considering assisted suicide. This book is brilliant at untangling disability from pathology and putting them in their respective places, and for that alone it should be read by anybody with any serious contact with the community.
