Riassunto

Examines psychological factors and their influence on the rehabilitative processes for visually impaired and blind people. Drawing on examples from a range of sensory and physical disabilities, this book emphasizes the importance of treating people individually, based on consideration of their psychological strengths and weaknesses as well as physical functioning. Written for workers with visually impaired people, this book is equally accessible to students and qualified workers, including rehabilitation workers, O & M specialists, occupational therapists, social workers and psychologists. Students and workers should find the language easy to understand and largely non-technical. Where specialized terminology is used, it is illustrated with concrete examples. Of special relevance is a chapter examining "burn-out", which accounts for unnecessary losses of talented and conscientious workers. Dodds offers ways in which workers can recognize signs of burn-out, as well as suggestions for dealing with it.
