Abstract
Ten therapists and supervisors who had clinical experience in working with deaf patients were interviewed. The responses centered on issues related to the necessity of visual rather than auditory communication, problems of diagnosis and assessment, therapist and patient expectations, special strengths of deaf patients, involvement of 3rd parties, and modification of therapeutic technique. Additional resources and research are necessary for clinicians to meet the needs of this large but still underserved population.
