Theories on cognitive dissonance and stereotyping will be examined in relation to their possible implications in the working relationship, and included in this review if they related to the development and maintenance of an ongoing working relationship between the deaf professional and the interpreter. The concept, cognitive dissonance, will be introduced in this discussion and examined for its relevance to the inconsistency …

JADARA

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between language dysfluency in the deaf inpatient population and the following variables: psychiatric diagnosis, risk of harm to self and others and psycho-social functioning admission scores on the Clinical Evaluation of Risk and Functioning Scale - Revised(CERF-R), and cognitive ability as measured by the Allen Cognitive Level Scale(ACL).

Participants with severe language dysfluency received DSM-IV diagnoses concentrated in more severe forms of psychopathology, while individuals with fluent language skills received a broader …

Positive Aspects Of Parenting A Deaf Child: Categories Of Potential Positive Influences, Amy Szarkowski, Patrick Brice

JADARA

Hearing parents were interviewed regarding the positive aspects of parenting their deaf children. The parent/child dyads were also observed in interactions and parents were asked to record in a journal their reflections about parenting a deaf child. This information was organized into categories that influenced the degree to which parents reported having positive experiences. A total of 42 categories were derived from the data obtained in the interviews, which were further arranged by the researchers in to relevant clusters. The clusters allow readers to better conceptualize the influences on parents that impact their ability to have a positive parenting experience. …

Comparison Of Face-To-Face And Video-Mediated Communication With Deaf Individuals: Implications For Telepsychotherapy, Michael John Gournaris, Irene W. Leigh

JADARA

Telecommunications and videoconference systems are increasingly replacing face-to-face communication (F2F). Video-mediated communication (VMC) offers the benefit of virtual F2F communication over long distances. The purpose of this study was to compare communication performance and perceptions for deaf individuals in F2F and VMC situations using a Map Task. Deaf participants were instructed by a deaf instructor using American Sign Language to mark routes. There were no significant differences in the length of sessions, almost all communication breakdown events, map task deviations, and overall outcomes. The results suggest that effective communication can occur in VMC situations. Research is needed to gauge the …

Creating And Strengthening The Therapeutic System For Treatment Setting Serving Deaf Children, Asiah Mason, Matthew Mason, Earl T. Braxton

JADARA

Treating deaf children with severe emotional and behavior problems, especially in residential and alternative school treatment settings, is a demanding undertaking. Finding and retaining skilled mental health paraprofessionals are continual challenges faced by mental health service providers. These challenges are even greater when the children served are deaf, and when staff members are expected to be multilingual, be knowledgeable about deaf culture, and be able to treat children with a multitude of severe mental health disturbances. Staff members face the dilemma of both raising and treating children in the same setting with limited resources. Limited funding and limited service models …
