Dyslexia is a complex condition that affects not only learning but every part of life. The experience or fear of social stigma can lead individuals with dyslexia to overlook the difficulties they face, withdraw, and adopt negative coping strategies, especially if appropriate support, recognition, and intervention are lacking. This can have lasting effects on their mental health. Neil Alexander-Passe is an experienced researcher and special needs teacher in secondary education. He also has dyslexia. He uses his personal and professional experience to illuminate the complexities surrounding dyslexia and examines psychological theories such as defense mechanisms and "learned helplessness" that reveal how people manage its emotional impact. He offers guidelines and advice, illustrated with real-life examples, on how to help people with dyslexia avoid harmful coping strategies and learn to manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem in more effective and psychologically positive ways. This book will help educators and clinical psychologists, teachers, mental health specialists, counselors, and therapists understand the emotional complexities of dyslexia.
