Reviews
<em>Mental Health and Deafness</em> is a valuable resource. It provides considerable information not only for hard-of-hearing individuals and their care-givers, but also for professionals in the fields of education, psychology, social work, and medicine. It is also an important resource for any social science researchers interested in expanding their knowledge about deafness and mental health. Overall, the book is comprehensive and insightful as it develops a complete understanding of deafness, mental illness, and the issues surrounding them. --<strong>Midhat Farzeen</strong>, B.Sc., Pakistan Fatima Jinnah Women University, Research Assistant at the Human Development Research Foundation, and reviewer for the <em>International Social Science Review</em>
