Reply to George Prigatano

Abstract

While readers may share my enthusiasm and gratitude for Prigatano's further explication of holistic rehabilitation, I would be disappointed if this were the only issue that remained highlighted in the debate. Other areas that I hope will promote further critical analysis are my arguments concerning the strengths and weaknesses of approaches to rehabilitation that differ according to whether impairments, disabilities, or handicaps are being treated. My critique of cognitive neuropsychological/theoretical approaches also deserves some reply.
