Reading and writing are fundamentally about the communication of meaning, yet when someone has difficulty learning to read and write the one area which is never seen as having any relevance is the meaning of the individual's experience. The author's contention is that the concept of dyslexia is something which has been invented, rather than discovered, in order to evade the question of meaning and the understanding of the of the individual.This is examined as part of a culture in which child-rearing and education are increasingly depersonalising, and children viewed as assets or commodities rather than individuals.Based on the author's 30 years' experience both of educational psychology and analytical therapy, the book sets out a radical approach to learning difficulties in which the primary assumption is that there will usually be underlying emotional conflicts , tensions and anxieties. Any learning disability is thus more likely to be the symptom of less-evident, personal difficulties, rather than a problem in itself. The book examines, with examples, typical patterns of personal and emotional difficulty which give rise to learning problems.There is also a section dedicated to diagnostic procedures and special teaching approaches which can be employed by the non-specialist.
