Disabled or Deaf? Investigating mental health clinicians’ knowledge of and attitude towards Deafness as a culture*
ABSTRACT Past research has shown people who predominately use British Sign Language to communicate have their own cultural identity. The current research used an online questionnaire and opportunity sampling to assess clinician awareness of Deaf culture and their knowledge of D/deafness. The UK Department of Health previously published recommendations aimed at making mental health services more accessible for D/deaf individuals and so the current accessibility of services for D/deaf individuals is also considered. The study found mixed attitudes towards Deafness and limited knowledge of Deafness by clinicians working within a mental health context. There appears to be limited implementation of the recommendations given by the Department of Health. Suggestions are given for improving services for D/deaf clients.

Culture as it comes to bear on mental health is a rapidly expanding area of inquiry and research within psychiatry and psychology, and other related fields such as social work, with important implications for practice in the global context. The journal is an essential resource for health care professionals working in the field of cross-cultural mental health.Readership includes psychiatrists, psychologists, medical anthropologists, medical sociologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers, general practitioners and other mental health professionals interested in the area. The International Journal of Culture and Mental Health publishes original empirical research, review papers and theoretical articles in the fields of cross-cultural psychiatry and psychology. Contributions from the fields of medical anthropology and medical sociology are particularly welcome. A continuing dialogue between members of various disciplines in various fields is encouraged. The aim of the journal is to encourage its readers to think about various issues which have clouded cross-cultural development of ideas. The journal lays special emphasis on developing further links between medical anthropology, medical sociology, clinical psychiatry and psychology, and implications of the findings on service provisions. The journal is published four times a year. The style of reference is Harvard. All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.
