Overview

This edited volume starts from where ""Psychological Perspectives on Deafness, Volume 1"" ended. Composed of review chapters that reflect views from researchers, this book surveys issues within the field of deafness such as cognition, learning disabilities, social development, language development and psychopathology. It also highlights the many findings emerging from researchers across a variety of disciplines - psychology, education, linguistics and child development. The chapters should engage, challenge and lead the field on to productive empirical and theoretical work relating to the broad range of questions which concern the psychological perspectives on deafness.
