Who are the people we describe as having learning or intellectual
disability? Many clinical psychologists working in a mental health
setting are now encountering people with learning disabilities, in
some cases for the first time. This book provides the background
information and understanding required to provide a basis for a
truly inclusive and effective service for people with learning
disability. In A Guide to Psychological Understanding of People
with Learning Disabilities, Jenny Webb argues that we need a new,
clinically-based definition of learning disability and an approach
which integrates scientific rigour with humanistic concern for this
group of people, who are so often vulnerable to misunderstanding
and marginalisation. Psychological approaches need to be grounded
in an understanding of historical, theoretical and ethical
influences as well as a body of knowledge from other disciplines.
The Eight Domains is a simple but holistic method for information
gathering, while The Three Stories is an integrative model of
formulation for use in relation for those people whose needs do not
fit neatly into any one theory. Divided into three sections, the
book explores: Understanding the context Understanding the person:
eight domains Making sense: three stories. This book provides an
invaluable guide for trainee clinical psychologists and their
supervisors and tutors, working with adults with learning
disability. It will also be valuable for clinical psychologists
working in mainstream settings who may now be receiving referrals
for people with learning disability and want to update their
skills.
