Resumen
This paper reviews the evolution of rehabilitative psychology, from being concerned with the testing of the psychological correlates of somatic deviations, to one relating to the aspects involved in overcoming disability from a personal and social point of view. Now, the contributions of psychology to rehabilitation have resulted an integral care for people with disability, but the debate about the conceptualization of disability and the role of disabled people in society still remains; said debate should incorporate new views, particularly those coming from handicapped people.
