Abstract
This article examines the concept of adjustment to the loss of sight f rom a cognitive viewpoint and analyzes clients' scores on the Nottingh am Adjustment Scale by means of LISREL structural modeling techniques. It presents support for a theoretical model of the self in terms of t wo latent factors-internal self-worth and self as agent-and discusses the relationship between the two and the implications for intervention with cognitive therapy.
