Intended to give a broad overview of the literature in the area of
self-injurious behavior in people with intellectual disabilities,
but most of the text is dedicated to the review of the behavioral
and biological research in this field. In fact, it is our view that
the most promising heuristic approach for the advancement of our
understanding of this phenomenon and for its management and
treatment is likely the bio-behavioral perspective in which
behavior can be studied at the intersect of learning and the
biological bases of behavior. We will propose an overarching
heuristic model, which we will call the Gene-Brain-Behavior Model
of Self-Injurious Behavior that presents a platform to integrate
disparate, and previously isolated scientific approaches.
*Written by 3 authors to provide cohesive coverage
*Bridges the gap between psychological behavior and
psychiatry
