[Some considerations on the goals of rehabilitation (author's transl)]. 1977

U Bach

Has not the term "rehabilitation" been very frequently used lately to describe exclusively vocational rehabilitation? If, however, "rehabilitation" does not cover all aspects of rehabilitation including the efforts made to provide the severely handicapped with the opportunity of developing their potential to the fullest then the severely handicapped are automatically considered segregated. What we do for them can only be described in a negative way. We are unable to integrate them vocationally but we do not want to leave them their fate, either. Without a positive exression for the efforts made for these fellow-citizens alone from the way we think and talk this part of rehabilitation implies inhuman tendencies.
