The Handbook of Intellectual Disability and Clinical Psychology
Practice will equip clinical psychologists in training with the
skills necessary to complete a clinical placement in the field of
intellectual disability. Building on the success of the previous
edition this handbook has been extensively revised. Throughout, the
text, references, and website addresses and have been updated to
reflect important developments since the publication the first
edition. Recent research findings on the epidemiology, aetiology,
course, outcome, assessment and treatment of all psychological
problems considered in the book have been incorporated into the
text. Account has been taken of changes in the diagnosis and
classification of intellectual disability and psychological
problems reflected in the AAIDD-11 and the DSM-5. New chapters on
the assessment of adaptive behaviour and support needs,
person-centred active support, and the assessment of dementia in
people with intellectual disability have been added. The book is
divided into eight sections: Section 1: Covers general conceptual
frameworks for practice - diagnosis, classification, epidemiology
and lifespan development. Section 2: Focuses on assessment of
intelligence, adaptive behaviour, support needs, quality of life,
and the processes of interviewing and report writing. Section 3:
Covers intervention frameworks, specifically active support,
applied behavioural analysis and cognitive behaviour therapy.
Section 4: Deals with supporting families of children with
intellectual disability, genetic syndromes and autism spectrum
disorders. Section 5: Covers issues associated with intellectual
disability first evident or prevalent in middle childhood. Section
6: Deals with adolescent concerns including life skills training,
relationships and sexuality. Section 7: Focuses on residential,
vocational and family-related challenges of adulthood and aging.
Section 8: Deals with professional issues and risk assessment.
Chapters cover theoretical and empirical issues on the one hand and
practice issues on the other. They close with summaries and
suggestions for further reading for practitioners and families
containing a member with an intellectual disability. Where
appropriate, in many chapters, practice exercises to aid skills
development have been included. The second edition of the Handbook
of Intellectual Disability and Clinical Psychology Practice is one
of a set of three volumes which cover the lion's share of the
curriculum for clinical psychologists in training in the UK and
Ireland. The other two volumes are the Handbook of Child and
Adolescent Clinical Psychology, Third Edition (by Alan Carr) and
the Handbook of Adult Clinical Psychology Practice, Second Edition
(edited by Alan Carr & Muireann McNulty).
