Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the importance of language choices in psychology when referring to individuals with disabilities, highlighting the use of personfirst language (e.g., "people with disabilities") versus identityfirst language (e.g., "disabled people") and the cultural implications of each.
  • It tracks the evolution of disability language, explains the different models behind these terminologies, and argues that psychologists should judiciously use both language types to better respect disability cultures, promote human dignity, and uphold professional standards.
  • The authors recommend that psychologists adopt a balanced approach, employing both personfirst and identityfirst language to improve cultural competence and enhance communication in scientific and personal contexts.]

Hakusanoilla "identity first" ja "person first" löytyy paljon materiaalia ja keskustelua, tässä vain yksi. Suomen vähän erityyppiset rakenteet ehkä hämäävät näitä, toivon että tästä ketjusta voi olla apua asian hahmottamisessa. 9/9 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25642702/
