“…In fact, the 2011 WHO World Report on Disability gives evidence that disabled persons experience poorer level of health due to a variety of factors, such as inaccessible health care services, risk of developing secondary conditions, higher risk of being exposed to violence, increased rates of health risk behavior ( [90], pp. [57][58][59][60]. This is also recognized in the CRPD in the context of the rights to health.…”

Abstract:The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is a modern human rights treaty with innovative components. It impacts on disability studies as well as human rights law. Two innovations are scrutinized in this article: the model of disability and the equality and discrimination concepts of the CRPD. It is argued that the CRPD manifests a shift from the medical model to the human rights model of disability. Six propositions are offered why and how the human rights model differs from the social model of disability. It is further maintained that the CRPD introduces a new definition of discrimination into international public law. The underlying equality concept can be categorized as transformative equality with both individual and group oriented components. The applied methodology of this research is legal doctrinal analysis and disability studies model analysis. The main finding is that the human rights model of disability improves the social model of disability. Three different models of disability can be attributed to different concepts of equality. The medical model corresponds with formal equality, while the social model with substantive equality and the human rights model can be linked with transformative equality.

“…It also allows us to analyze politics of disablement as the denial of social and cultural recognition, which is an aspect of the critique of the social model of disability [57,58]. The human rights model of disability demands that impairment is recognized in theories of justice.…”

“…The stratified realist ontology is not, however, in conflict with Clarke's (2005) view that "everything in the situation both constitutes and affects most everything else in the situation in some way." Danermark and Gellerstedt (2004) argue that "in reality levels are entwined and [the] mechanisms could be supporting each other or counteracting each other, and the outcome in a specific context is the result of a very complex interplay between levels and mechanisms." Possible structures, mechanisms, contexts, and outcomes are shown below based on the findings from the Situational Analysis and Emergent Theory Generation presented here (Table 3).…”

We present here a realist multilevel situational analysis of maternal depression. We use situational analysis to identify the interaction of mothers with social structures and the possible causal influence of those social structures on her well-being. The analysis moves from an emergent empirical approach toward the more reflexive and abductive approach of situational analysis, thus better informing our abductive reasoning and the generation of theory. Critical realism and symbolic interactionism provide the methodological underpinning for the study. The setting was South Western Sydney, Australia. Interviews of mothers and practitioners were analyzed using open coding to enable maximum emergence. Situational analysis was then undertaken using situational and social worlds/arena maps. Home and neighborhood situational analysis mapping and analysis of relations identified the following concepts: (a) expectations and dreams, (b) marginalization and being alone, (c) loss or absence of power and control, and (d) support and nurturing. The neighborhood and macro-arena situational analysis mapping and analysis of relations identified the following concepts: (a) social support networks, social cohesion and social capital; (b) services planning and delivery and social policy; and (c) global economy, business, and media. Emerging was the centrality of being alone and expectations lost as possible triggers of stress and depression within circumstances where media portrays expectations of motherhood that are shattered by reality and social marginalization. We further observe that powerful global economic and political forces are having an impact on the local situations. The challenge for policy and practice is to support families within this adverse regional and global economic context.

“…However, one should bear in mind that table 4 is a conceptual framework demonstrating the interdisciplinary perspective of the target population in the current thesis. In reality, different levels are entwined and a lot of mechanisms could be supporting or counteracting each other, and the outcome in a specific context is the result of a very complex interplay between different levels and mechanisms (Danermark & Gellerstedt, 2004b …”

“…The current framework of this thesis is disability research, an area that covers biological, psychological, social and cultural aspects of functioning, impairment and disability (Danermark & Gellerstedt, 2004b). Traditionally, disability research has been conducted using theoretical models of medical and social approaches.…”
