Counseling-infused audiologic care Upplaga 3

The first edition of Counseling-Infused Audiologic Care was selected by the American Academy of Audiology as one of the top 25 audiology texts published in the past 25 years. Considered the seminal work on the subject of audiologic counseling, this text is presented as a straight forward, practical guide to audiological counseling and rehabilitation, founded on evidence-based practice. Clark and English have written the most applicable text on the market specific to the unique challenges presented when counseling persons with hearing loss. The authors' direct approach identifies key principles that lead to an enhanced appreciation for, and understanding of, the audiologist's fundamental role in helping parents of children with hearing loss, the children themselves and adult patients to 1) fully understand the impact of hearing loss, 2) form an internal motivation to move forward with recommendations, and 3) ultimately attain the personal empowerment requisite to meeting hearing challenges head-on. New to this edition are discussions of implicit bias, suicide ideation, bullying, palliative care and end-of-life considerations and more. By emphasizing the humanistic side of audiology and a personal adjustment counseling approach, with clear description and frequent demonstrations through vignettes of day-to-day application, this is a balanced guide to a person-centered approach to audiologic treatment.
