The Positive Psychology of Personal Factors Implications for Understanding Disability – PDF

Throughout history, approaches aimed at improving the lives of individuals with disabilities have often concentrated on their limitations. However, this perspective began to shift with the introduction of frameworks by the World Health Organization (WHO), particularly the International Classification of Function (ICF). The ICF underscores that understanding disability requires an examination of the interplay between health, personal factors, and environmental influences. By assessing how these elements affect an individual’s activities and participation, the ICF highlights the importance of contextualizing disability. While the ICF recognizes personal factors within a social-ecological model of disability, it falls short of extensively defining these factors. The Positive Psychology of Personal Factors explores elements derived from positive psychology to identify and foster strategies that emphasize individuals’ strengths. The ultimate aim is to enhance the full participation, dignity, and well-being of people with disabilities.
