Deafness - Softcover

First published in 1960, this book is intended for all those whose professional work may bring them into close contact with people who have any degree of deafness. The book aims to present in an easy-to-understand format the basic information that is necessary to appreciate the complexities of dealing with both adults and children with varying degrees of deafness. It should be of particular value to professionals who are just becoming involved with deafness and who need a comprehensive introduction to the subject. In addition, it should be of use to interested non-specialists and to the parents of deaf children. In its fifth edition - extensively revised under multiple authorship - the book remains a comprehensive introduction to a highly complex subject.
