ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a somewhat structured approach to implementing the concepts of lifestyle understanding and adjustment to disability. This counseling process for adjustment to disability can be viewed as having four phases. These phases, an adaptation of the Adlerian process (Dreikurs, 1967), are Relationship, Lifestyle Investigation, Lifestyle Interpretation, and Reorientation. The initial discussion will focus primarily on procedures in an individual setting with subsequent brief discussion on adapting these procedures to a group approach.
