This comprehensive work addresses the care and treatment of adults
and children who have disorders of intellectual development (also
known as intellectual or learning disabilities). It focuses
specifically on the interface between intellectual disabilities and
genetics, ageing, epilepsy and forensic psychiatry. A whole section
is devoted to the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of autism
spectrum disorders. Other topics include: comorbid mental health
problems; behavioural problems; psychopharmacology; and service
provision. There are references to the up-to-date evidence-based
literature throughout the text which aims to inform clinical
practice. Written by eminent clinicians and experts in their field,
the majority of chapters were specially commissioned for this book,
whilst a few have previously appeared in the journal Advances in
Psychiatric Treatment (now known as BJPsych Advances) and have now
been fully updated.
