Few people are fully aware of the psychological and sociological implications of different types of deafness, or of the problems of deaf people with disabilities, and few members of the caring professions have any training in this field. This clear, practical book, by one of the world''s leading psychiatrists in work with deaf people, outlines the nature of the different kinds of deafness and covers both clinical and service aspects of working with deaf people. The book includes many illustrative examples, and is written not only for professionals in the mental health field, but also for all those whose work brings them into contact with deaf children and adults. Because deafness is not a `visible'' problem, it is often difficult to take account of the problems that deaf people face, and this book will be of particular use in helping to understand better the nature of deafness and to recognise mental disorder.
Industry Reviews
`This book was clearly written, primarily for people who may meet deaf people in the course of their work. It is an excellent book both in its conception and its delivery...a must for those people who work in the field of deafness.
