Because deafness is not a ''visible'' problem, it is often difficult to take account of the particular problems of deaf people, and few people working in 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 problem, and covers both clinical and service aspects of working with deaf people. The book includes many illustrative examples, and should serve as a resource, not only for professionals in the mental health field, but for all those whose work brings them into contact with deaf people, or who want to understand better the nature of deafness.
Meaning of terms and classification of deafness; some psycho-social aspects of deafness; those who are both deaf and blind; the child who does not talk; psychiatry for deaf people - clinical aspects; psychiatry for deaf people - service aspects; mental health legislation and deafness; criminality and deafness; social work for deaf people; recommendations. Appendices: recommended format for a social history; aids to daily living; institutions and organizations for deaf people.
`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.
