Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is required reading for one of my deaf culture classes on my way to becoming a sign language interpreter. The authors are hearing people and deaf people, collaborating to provide the most in-depth knowledge possible on the subject. I especially enjoy the section that discusses the roles of interpreters for educational purposes, and includes reaction footnotes written by various deaf students of their experiences using interpreters. This text covers so many areas of deafness that would never have otherwise occurred to me to ask. I can see why this book is required reading.

Deaf People: Evolving Perspectives in Psychology, Sociology, and Education is an examination of the psychology of the Deaf community through history, current topics, and the personal experiences of the three deaf authors.This text provides a unique perspective in that the topic-psychology and deaf people-is typically presented through the hearing person's perspective. The deaf person's perspective as this book demonstrates is important because it is the deaf community that is most impacted by the decisions professionals make, whether in school in the clinic or in the family.Case studies are presented throughout the text to demonstrate real life issues and end of chapter study questions help reinforce chapter concepts.
