Fully revised, this new edition reviews the most up-to-date and
clinically relevant information on the mental health and behavioral
problems of people with intellectual, developmental and learning
disabilities, also previously known as mental retardation. Providing
the latest evidence base from the literature and embracing clinical
experience, it covers the essential facts and concepts relating to
coexisting medical and psychiatric disorders, with new and updated
chapters on mental health and epilepsy, schizophrenia spectrum
disorders, personality disorders, and mental health problems in people
with autism and related disorders. The disorder-based chapters are
complemented by chapters on carer and family perspectives, possible
future developments and contributions highlighting the principles of
assessment, management and services from global and historical
perspectives. This is essential hands-on practical advice for
psychiatrists, psychologists and all other mental health professionals
including nurses, therapists, social workers, managers, service
providers and commissioners.
