Product Description

Product Description
How does it feel to be losing sight? How can people be helped to face the emotional, social and practical trauma of failing vision? How might the explanation of diagnosis and prognosis affect the patient's response and rehabilitation to loss of sight? The author cites the "consumer" patient's experience, tracing their career in disability from onset to registration as visually impaired through to rehabilitation and aftercare. She emphasizes the psychological and emotional response to loss of vision and calls for a greater input of counselling and psychotherapeutic support. The pros and cons of a multidisciplinary counselling approach are considered. The book explores some of the difficulties, constraints and emotional defences which may affect the range of caring professionals who are involved in offering support to the patient.
