Dyslexia and Mental Health

Helping people identify destructive behaviours and find positive ways to cope

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents research and case studies to demonstrate why and how people with dyslexia can adopt adverse coping strategies and defensive mechanisms to deal with the emotional impact of dyslexia, leading to self-harm, depression and even suicide. It then looks at how they can best be helped and supported by professionals who work with them.
