Abstract
This article critiques the assumptions about the nature and meaning of disability advanced in social‐psychological writing, suggests the origins of these assumptions, and proposes a return to a Lewinian/minority‐group analysis of the situation of people with disabilities. It concludes by placing the articles in this issue of theJournal of Social Issuesin context and by presenting questions in need of further exploration.Keywords
