Abstract | Interviews with 13 Japanese individuals (mean age 50 years) with physical disabilities found that their disabilities permeated every aspect of their daily experience. Informants described a life style in which they maximized their energies and abilities and limited unnecessary activities. Those who worked in the community or were able to contribute to their families reported greater life satisfaction. (DB) |
