Neil S. Glickman (Editor) and Sanjoy Gulati (Editor)
A comprehensive clinical guide of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, and other mental health professionals and administrators. It reviews the special needs of deaf patients, particularly those who consider themselves 'culturally Deaf'.
It provides professionals with useful tools with which to meet those needs, including handouts and forms on a CD-Rom. This also contains pictorial questionnaires and information sheets relating to medication and its side effects.
Gulati’s commentary on issues around cochlea implants for children is especially interesting. Glickman’s chapter on culturally affirmative treatment similarly so.
This book is a must read for anyone involved in the design of mental health services for deaf people.
