[The disabled--object or partner of rehabilitation? (author's transl)].
The experience made in the field of rehabilitation in the post-WW II period have not only led to the enactment of Parliamentary legislation. The personal experiences of rehabilitation workers has often entailed their having gradually formed guiding principles that are being strongly insisted upon in all their dealings with their disabled clients. Rejection of these guidelines may lead to the disabled being regarded as unfit or unwilling, and even more so if he tries to develop personal views on his part in rehabilitation. There is thus a great risk of rehabilitation becoming an end in itself for those who are pursuing it. The disabled for their part should not only underline their rights but accept the responsibilities as well. The risk of stiffening oppositions on all fronts is best countered by those involved talking with each other on a partnership footing. Partnership is however also needed among those who have to co-operate in the various field involved in rehabilitation.
