Synopsis
Individuals with intellectual disabilities and personality disorders can be very complex to support, and few staff have the skills to address their needs. Many approaches traditionally developed and used with individuals with personality disorder are too complex to use with people with intellectual disabilities without skilled adaptation. Intellectual Disabilities and Personality Disorder: An Integrated Approach bridges this gap in resources, providing a framework for understanding and addressing the problems that can arise when an individual has both intellectual disabilities and a personality disorder. The book introduces personality disorders, their epidemiology and how to recognise them, and examines how a personality disorder is shaped by an individual s intellectual disability and the difficulties that this may lead to. It then explores a range of practical approaches for working more effectively with this client group and dealing with any difficulties that arise, both individually and as a care team.
