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.
