"Does God Have a Cochlear Implant?"

Michael A. Harvey

This article describes psychological and ethical considerations when providing family therapy for parents considering cochlear implantation for their deaf/hard-of-hearing child. Family dynamics, multilevel criteria of informed consent, therapist bias, intervention strategies are illustrated. The clinical vignette of 8-year-old Tommy and his family is largely factual, with enough changes to disguise the participants’ identities. I took more creative liberties narrating my daydream to best illustrate the relevant impacts of the pathological and culturally affirmative models.

Correspondence should be sent to Michael Harvey, 14 Vernon St., Suite 304, Framingham, MA 01701 (e-mail: mharvey2000{at}earthlink.net).
