Draft: Disability Studies
There is ample room in disability studies to analyze the construction of “mental illness.” However, few post-structuralist disability scholars have focused their attention to impairments of the mind. This may be because disability scholars have in the past considered only the barriers confronted by people with physical disabilities. With this emphasis in the scholarship, disabilities that are not physical have taken a back seat. It is unclear exactly which perspective of disability scholarship “psychological impairment” can fall under, and this has led to a hesitation on the part of scholars. There is some discussion of which scholarly perspective disabilities of the mind will fit into. Scholars such as Peter Beresford (2002) suggest "the development of a 'social model of madness and distress'" which would consider impairments of the mind. Yet others may recommend the "embodied approach," to the study of mental illnesses. Msoposky (talk) 01:42, 28 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I think this reads very clean and avoids any sort of bias. Grammar and spelling all look good as well.  I would suggest adding definitions if they are available, such as defining what post-structuralism is or what the differences are between the madness/distress and embodied approaches to disability studies.  I can take guesses to what the meanings are, but the average reader might be confused or driven away without an explanation. Nicrlove (talk) 18:07, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
