The book explores how individuals labeled as "intellectually disabled" are defined through their interactions with care staff and professionals, challenging the notion that intellectual disability is solely an internal condition. By applying discursive psychology, it reveals that these disabilities are not just personal afflictions but are shaped by social interactions and contexts. The case studies highlight the importance of understanding intellectual disability as a social construct, emphasizing the role of communication and relationships in defining these experiences.
