字字珠矶又充满挑战性的《伤残理论》，借由提出不容质疑的证据，证明障碍研究观点的重要性与运用，能为关键与文化问题找到解答，这本书的内容颠覆了这个理论领域。Tobin Siebers 提出极有说服力的论点，指出障碍研究精化了身分认同、思想、语言、政治、社会压迫与身体的基本假设。他也同时借由将障碍研究的核心议题与文化研究、文学理论、酷儿理论、性别研究与批判种族理论连结在一起。

"Disability Theory is just the book we've been waiting for. Clear, cogent, compelling analyses of the tension between the 'social model' of disability and the material details of impairment; of identity politics and unstable identities; of capability rights and human interdependence; of disability and law, disability as masquerade, disability and sexuality, disability and democracy—they're all here, in beautifully crafted and intellectually startling essays. Disability Theory is a field-defining book: and if you're curious about what 'disability' has to do with 'theory,' it's just the book you've been waiting for, too." —Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University
 
"Disability Theory is magisterially written, thoroughly researched, and polemically powerful. It will be controversial in a number of areas and will probably ruffle feathers both in disability studies as well as in realms of cultural theory. And that's all to the good." —Michael Davidson, University of California, San Diego
 
 "Not only is Disability Theory a groundbreaking contribution to disability studies, it is also a bold, ambitious and much needed revision to a number of adjacent and overlapping fields including cultural studies, literary theory, queer theory, and critical race studies. Siebers has written a powerful manifesto that calls theory to account and forces readers to think beyond our comfort zones." —Helen Deutsch, University of California, Los Angeles
 
"Tobin Siebers' Disability Theory is an important book for contemporary Disability Studies. It is important not only for its often provocative explorations of such pressing issues as pain, sexuality, and human rights, but also because Siebers is a major participant in one of the most vigorous debates within the field at the present time—the question of methodology and how we do Disability Studies in the humanities. This is a book with a clear agenda: to counter the critiques of identity politics that have emerged among disability scholars." —Clare Barker, Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies
 
"Disability Theory is a passionate book that would be a good choice for introducing advanced undergraduate or graduate students to new ways of thinking about disability..." —Cynthia Lewiecki-Wilson, JAC
 
"Thoughtful, engaging, and wide-reaching ...  a welcome contribution to a field still endeavoring to establish disability as a topic of theoretical discourse rather than medical intervention." —Contemporary Literature
