Editorial Reviews

Based on a study in Belfast, 1980-90, considers the deterioration of speech by a person who has become deaf, as one of the many social and emotional consequences of what is too often treated simply as a disorder of the ear. Emphasizes the cumulative impact of difficulties none of which would be serious alone, and the goal of full and satisfying relations with other humans. Annotation c.
