What is a face and how does it relate to personhood? Approaching Facial Difference: Past and Present offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the many ways in which faces have been represented in the past and present, focusing on the issue of facial difference and disfigurement read in the light of shifting ideas of beauty and ugliness. Faces are central to all human social interactions, yet their study has been much overlooked by disability scholars and historians of medicine alike. By examining the main linguistic, visual and material approaches to the face from antiquity to contemporary times, contributors place facial diversity at the heart of our historical and cultural narratives. This cutting-edge collection of essays will be an invaluable resource for humanities scholars working across history, literature and visual culture, as well as modern practitioners in education and psychology.

Emotions ranging from happiness to fear fill people's everyday lives. For children, adults, parents, and guardians in the facial difference community around the world, this is also true. Yet there are deeper wounds that happen, too. Those can include physical, emotional, and mental abuse either from others or self-inflicted. Understanding those emotions, where they come from, and how to address them in the midst of living through one's own personal journey takes bravery and action. In "CleftThoughts: Emotional Musings From The Facial Difference World," author Joe Rutland shares his own experiences as well as what he's heard from others in the facial difference community. Rutland, born with a unilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, has dedicated a good part of his life toward educating, supporting, and informing those in this international community about the importance of tending one's emotional garden. Mixed with real-life experiences and nurturing words and meditations, "CleftThoughts" brings out into the open what others might be afraid or unable to communicate.

Children and young people who are visibly different face significant social and psychological challenges at school. Educating Children with Facial Disfigurement demystifies a difficult and delicate subject. Teachers and others working in education can use this book to acquire a better knowledge of the issues involved, as well as the confidence to handle sensitive issues and foster inclusive attitudes both in and out of the classroom. There are many causes of facial disfigurement - birthmarks, cleft lip and palate, burns, scars and serious skin conditions - so it is essential that all schools know about the issues arising from visible difference. Jane Francis examines many of these issues and demonstrates in a practical way how to deal with: * staring, curiosity and questions, teasing, name-calling and bullying * medical needs, special educational needs and related issues * creating inclusive school communities * self-perception and self-expression * career ideas, work experience and social skills for life. With illustrative case studies, lesson ideas and references to useful resources, this book will be of particular relevance to teachers with responsibility for special educational needs or pastoral care.

Sociocultural norms may render people with a facial difference such as a cleft lip and palate more noticeable, and possibly more socially vulnerable. Given the importance of subjective appearance satisfaction for psychological health, knowledge is needed about risk and protective factors that might exacerbate or strengthen appearance satisfaction in the presence of a facial difference. This work is based on a large clinical sample of 661 children and adolescents with a cleft. Unlike most studies within this field of research, a thorough registration of co-morbid difficulties is provided, while their consequences for psychological adjustment and its measurement are discussed. Associations between social experiences and subjective appearance evaluations are explored, suggesting that appearance satisfaction may be enhanced by positive social experiences, while appearance dissatisfaction may be exacerbated by peer harassment. Given findings of positive self-perceptions, this work also discusses protective factors and processes of resilience in individuals with a facial difference.
