Inhalt:
In common with the rest of the population, patients with intellectual disabilities are experiencing increased longevity. Evidence suggests that mental health disorders may occur in up to half of all persons with intellectual disability and that these disorders accelerate significantly with age. The purpose of this book is to highlight mental health and behavioural needs in adults with intellectual disabilities and to become a source of reference regarding a number of mental health conditions in this population as well as a sourcebook for treatments of choice.
