Deaf People: Evolving Perspectives from Psychology, Education, and Sociology

Deaf People: Evolving Perspectives in Psychology, Sociology, and Educationis an examination of the psychology of the Deaf community through history, current topics, and the personal experiences of the three deaf authors. This text provides a unique perspective in that the topic-psychology and deaf people-is typically presented through the 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.Irene W. Leigh is the author of 'Deaf People: Evolving Perspectives from Psychology, Education, and Sociology', published 2003 under ISBN 9780205338139 and ISBN 0205338135.
