Title of book: Deafness and Challenging Behaviour: the 360 degree perspective.

Editors; Sally Austen and Dave Jeffery.

Published: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007.

Condition: Excellent.

Multi-disciplinary professionals with specialist knowledge of working with Deaf people explore aspects of mild to severe challenging behavior with reference to its cause, assessment, prevention and management.

This book will be of relevance to professionals and carers involved in the delivery of actual and potential aggression management in the fields of:

• Mental health
• Education
• Learning disability
• Speech and language therapy
• Prison and forensic services
• Audiology
• Nursing

International contributors, providing a wealth of easily accessible knowledge, consider this extremely heterogeneous group from neuro-psychological, cognitive-behavioural, socio-political, service-user, psychodynamic and systemic perspectives.

I found this book useful in my recent studies in Deaf education.
