Self-Esteem and Adjusting with Blindness: The Process of Responding to Life's Demands

Resource Type

Book

Description

"Aware that blindness is not an event but a journey, the authors interpret the opinions of Wright and Kubler-Ross for sighted professionals in medicine, education and social service who work with individuals who are blind or have low vision. Topics include some of the causes of blindness, adjusting to blindness by adapting to the sighted world, dealing with individual psychological and social implications, and developing and fostering self-esteem. The authors include techniques professionals can use on their patients and clients. This book has been reviewed by the American Foundation for the Blind, but the publisher does not offer it in Braille or large print." <P>-Annotation Book News, Inc., 2004
