The current issue of the Ars Vivendi Journal includes one paper. This article by Pedro Nuno de Oliveira is a theoretical contribution to the disability model studies. The author suggests a historical development: moral model to family, medical model community and consumer model. Although this scheme appears to be a traditional linear modernism, it provides a good starting point for further discussion.
