Rehabilitating Blind and Visually Impaired People - A Psychological Approach (Paperback, 1993 Ed.)

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.
