Description

Deaf adults and children, like their hearing counterparts, experience a full range of mental health problems. They develop psychoses, sink into deep depressions, abuse alcohol and drugs, commit sexual offenses, or simply have trouble adjusting to new life situations. But when a deaf client appears on the doorstep of an ordinary hospital, residential facility, clinic, or office, panic often ensues. This title aims to offer much-needed help to clinical and counselling psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses and other mental health professionals - and to their programme administrators. The editors and the authors, systematically review the special needs of deaf patients, particularly those who regard themselves as "culturally Deaf" and provide professionals with the tools they need to meet those needs. Among these tools is an extensive "library" of pictorial questionnaires and information sheets. These handouts simplify the processes involved in the diagnosis and treatment of people who in many cases are not good readers. The handouts are reproduced on a CD included in each copy of the book.
