Emerson, Eric: Clinical Psychology and People with Intellectual Disabilities.
Wiley, John & Sons, Incorporated 1998
Description:
What can psychology contribute to the understanding of intellectual disabilities
and how does clinical psychology help in supporting people with these
disabilities? This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of
concepts and problems, as well as covering the clinical and consulting skills
that support interventions in this field. Starting from basic issues of
epidemiology and cause, the authors consider issues raised when mental health
problems co-occur, when sexual abuse is alleged, and when a person's behaviour
is found to challenge the resources of the people or services providing support.
The authors examine the family context, and how to address it, and also the
organizational context and how to understand and work within it (including its
legal aspects). Finally, they consider health promotion issues, and how to work
with families and communities to improve the wellbeing of people with
intellectual disabilities. This is a truly comprehensive text, written out of
both rich clinical experience and extensive knowledge of research and training.
It will be invaluable for students and practitioners in many disciplines that
are involved in the field of intellectual disability.
