Coping with a Visual Impairment through Self-Investigation.

van Huijgevoort, Toos

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v96 n11 p783-95 Nov 2002

This article describes how the self-confrontation method (SCM) can help people cope with visual impairment. The actual impact of the impairment can be studied by establishing how being visually impaired is expressed in self-narratives. The different phases of SCM are explained and two case studies are presented. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
