GENTIL, Isabel. The process of acceptance on handicap: the speech in persons with limp. Index Enferm [online]. 2005, vol.14, n.48-49, pp.28-32. ISSN 1699-5988.
In numerous contexts and cultures, persons with a physical deficiency such as a limp, have been perceived with negative characteristic morally and socially. We question ourselves how they influence the personal process of acceptance of the hdicap, these social representations, in which we are deeply involved, as the social beings that we are. For this we carry out a qualitative investigation, utilizing the method of analysis of the speech of the people whit a limp carried ont in interviews halfguieds with then. We find that the process of acceptance of the handicap is a "rite of passage" just as was defined by Van Gennep.
