Preparing For Battle Against The Hearing Loss: A Narrative Therapy Approach, Michael A. Harvey
JADARA
This case study describes brief psychotherapy with a 67-year-old man who had a severe-to- profound hearing loss. In his words, he began treatment "to get my wife off my back," as his wife wanted him to be evaluated for hearing aids. The therapist used a narrative treatment approach to externalize and personify the hearing loss and also to facilitate "remembering" conversations concerning the patient's grandfather. Clinical vignettes and theoretical notes are offered.

An assessment instrument needs to be valid in order for data to be accurately interpreted and applied. Currently, few rigorous content evaluations have been conducted on hearing-related questionnaires. This study describes a multiphase approach for obtaining content validity evidence in the development of a questionnaire that explores quality of life for persons with hearing loss and their communication partners. A panel of 15 interprofessional experts evaluated 41 questionnaire items for content relevance and content clarity. Findings revealed an overall scale of .99 for content relevance and .85 for content clarity, indicating high content validity for the revised 40-item questionnaire.
