Abstract
Because it addresses the impact of illness and disability on life outcomes (e.g., employment status, emotional state, and perceived quality of life), the illness intrusiveness model provides significant insights into critical functions of rehabilitation counseling. The model illuminates the disease and treatment factors contributing to intrusiveness, the operational definition of intrusiveness, and the relationship of intrusiveness to personal control. It provides rationales for (a) interventions that enhance individuals' personal control and self-care, self-management, and task-focused coping strategies and (b) program evaluations that assess the extent to which individuals have acquired those personal orientations and skills and succeeded in reducing the intrusiveness of illness or disability in their lives.
