Part 2 of "The Psychology of Dating with a Disability"
With Valentine’s Day just under two weeks away, if you’re among those with a disability who are single and not dating, all the hoopla related to that date could serve as a trigger point that may remind you of the many challenges of dating with a disability. In this 29-minute video, join hosts Deborah Davis, Dr. Rafe Eric Biggs and Hector DelValle who welcome a special guest, Gina Schuh, to delve deeper into the psychology of dating, as well as the psychology of dating with a disability. In the second of a two part episode, they also take a look at the personality types that are typically attracted to people with disabilities while also examining the dangerous type of devotees and what to look out for to avoid becoming involved with one of them.

The video is produced by the folks at Sustain Our Abilities, an online resource for people living with disabilities to receive & share information about successful living, and is part of their interactive program focusing on sexuality and SCI. This 40-episode series features Dr. Marcalee Alexander along with Dr. Rafe Biggs, Deborah Davis, Hector DelValle, and Ligia Andrade Zuniga. While the focus of the series is primarily about these disabilities, the information presented is useful to persons with disability, their partners, health care professionals and the general public.
