Deafness in Mind by Sally Austen
Deafness in Mind presents the varying theoretical approaches to the psychology of deafness: systemic, Cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, wellness and cognitive neuropsychological models. Uniquely, clinical theory and practice are linked to provide a comprehensive understanding of the deaf mental health field. For the first time, the controversial subject of cochlear implants is discussed in the same book as the mental health of culturally Deaf people. Similarly, prevention is considered alongside prevalence, and the book appraises the various political views where other books have taken a single political view. Deafness in Mind has drawn contributing authors from those with the authority of years of clinical experience as well as those with new ideas. Current services and new directions in the field are brought together to provide a definitative text in the psychology of mental health and deafness.
"I recommend Deafness in Mind, not just for health and social care professionals working with Deaf people, but for all in order to benefit from a deeper understanding and appreciation of the issues and added complexities that can and do arise for Deaf people in relation to mental and other illnessesI can guarantee, like me, you'll find yourself again and again thinking, ‘I never thought of that'." (Central & North West London NHS Foundation, 2012)
"...this is a book well worth dipping into by BACDA members - some chapters are fascinating, some are excellent and applicable..." (British Association of Community Doctors in Audiology Newsletter, April 2005)
"...I strongly recommend it as an addition to...reading lists and the clinician's book shelf." (Bulletin, July 2005)
