This book considers how mental health services have evolved over
the past three decades to meet the needs of people with
intellectual disability, focusing on the ways that theories and
policies have been applied to clinical practice. Nick Bouras and
Geraldine Holt both have extensive experience in developing and
running mental health services and bring together international
contributors all with longstanding expertise in the fields of
mental health and intellectual disability. They present the current
evidence-based practice on how people with intellectual disability
can be best cared for in clinical settings. The book embraces a
foreword by Professor David Goldberg and is divided into three
sections: development of specialist mental health services,
clinical practice, and training as an integrated component of
service delivery. Chapters cover topics including: the association
between psychopathology and intellectual disability international
perspectives neuroimaging and genetic syndromes training
professionals, families and support workers. Mental Health Services
for Adults with Intellectual Disability provides an overview of the
many improvements that have been made in services for people with
intellectual disability, as well as examining the shortcomings of
the services provided. It offers strategies and solutions for the
wide array of interdisciplinary professionals who want to develop
the range of resources on offer for people with intellectual
disability.
