Development of a Multifaceted Definition of Empowerment.

Bolton, Brian; Brookings, Jeffrey

Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v39 n4 p256-64 Jun 1996

Developed a multifaceted definition of the intrapersonal component of empowerment, based on a review and synthesis of selected expository and empirical literature. Consisting of 20 dimensions, each with a standard definition of the construct, the model may be useful in facilitating discussions, developing training programs, and constructing measures of empowerment.
