"The book is a comprehensive survey of self concept locus-of -control and mental health problems of the visually challenged. It provides conceptual framework, theoretical as well as empirical background on the variables under study. The book also gives prominence to the methodology adopted in the conduct of the study. This book draws our attention on the need to study the psychological make up of visually challenged children. Furthermore, it explores the impact of visual impairment on the mental make up of children. The book makes an attempt to discuss the findings in the light of earlier empirical findings." (jacket)
