Technical difficulties in the evaluation and care of psychiatric disturbances in a deaf-blind population are described. Experience at the National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults demonstrated the relevance of etiological, developmental, adaptive, and social factors for the understanding of the clinical syndromes commonly encountered. The importance of such understandings for adequate diagnosis, treatment, and vocational planning is discussed.
