| Summary |
"Deaf People: Evolving Perspectives from Psychology, Education, and Sociology is an examination of the psychology of the Deaf community through history, current topics, and the personal experiences of the two deaf authors. This text provides a unique perspective in that the topic - psychology and deaf people - is typically presented from a hearing person's perspective. The deaf person's perspective, as this book demonstrates, is important because it is the Deaf community that is most impacted by the decisions professionals make, whether in school, in the clinic, or in the family. Case studies are presented throughout the text to demonstrate real life issues, and end of chapter study questions help reinforce chapter concepts."--BOOK JACKET |
