Summary/Abstract: Artistic activity may help people with disabilities caused by traffic accidents realize themselves socially. Most often, such persons practice writing poetry, short stories and autobiographical novels. Poetry allows one to express their emotions associated with such questions as suffering, pain, the sense of life, disability, illness and God. Poetry of people with disabilities often has a religious and multifaceted character and, therefore, it plays a therapeutic role. In consequence, people become capable of accepting their disability.
