Research has identified several psychosocial adjustment issues which follow a traumatic injury. We studied two women with spinal cord injuries to determine how the injury had affected their life satisfaction, and to identify areas of adjustment requiring attention. Significant issues emerged concerning intimate relationships and dating, response to societal reactions to their appearance, vocational pursuits, spirituality, and locus of control. Suggestions for further research are presented, and implications for facilitating adjustment to disability are discussed.
