title: [Deafness and multihandicap].
abstract: 'Deafness' and 'Handicaps' are concepts which have not only evolved separately throughout the years, but also together in a mutual relationship. Defining them in a social rather than a medical field raises certain questions. Is Deafness a Handicap? Do its consequences constitute a multihandicap? Mother and Child Interaction studies show risk of an impairment to this relationship, and thus a possible psycho-affective disorder for the child's development.
