Sommario/riassunto |
|
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. |
