Abstract
Generally, psychological recovery from an acquired disability involves acceptance of the disability. In this thesis, the
author conducted a life story study to record the experiences of the people concerned from their own viewpoints. The
author considers two life stories to examine disabilities from various perspectives and proposes 'networking-care' as a
new concept. The results show that 'somatic relationships' and 'human relationships' are important in psychological
recovery from disabilities. In addition, the 'interaction' and 'death and rebirth' models are presented as hypothetical
models to explain the recovery process.
