Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology and Disability, 2nd ed., provides a foundation for research and practice focusing on positive attributes of disability. The handbook’s introductory chapters overview a paradigmatic change in how disability itself is understood, leading to the opportunity to focus research and practice regarding positive psychology’s emphasis on optimal human functioning to understand and support people with disabilities. The text provides chapters synthesizing research in traditional areas of positive psychology, including quality of life, satisfaction and well-being, hope, optimism, resilience, coping, and self-determination. Chapters address strengths-based approaches to treatment and intervention and the application of positive psychological principles in specific disciplines such as rehabilitation sciences and disability studies, as well as topics that merit consideration in positive psychology and disability such as disability ethics, adaptation, and toxic positivity. The text provides a foundation for infusing positive psychology into disability research and practice, and disability issues into positive psychology.</jats:p>
