About this title
"I was quite impressed with this book, which has an unusually broad theoretical scope. As well, the authors impress me as not just knowledgeable, but passionate about their areas of expertise, which makes the book a compelling read."-- "Doody Publishing", "August 2001"
"This book, edited by Drs. Dosen and Day, two prominent pioneers in the field of psychiatry of mental retardation, is the first of its kind. It fills successfully two roles. First, it is a scholarly, comprehensively referenced text, which reviews in details our current knowledge of treatment of mental disorders in persons who also have mental retardation. Second, it is also a very readable textbook, describing in practical details the treatment modalities, and as such it will be most useful to all clinicians working with this, long underserved, population. It should be an obligatory part of core library of every mental retardation-mental health professional."-- "Ludwik S. Szymanski, M.D., Director of Psychiatry (Emeritus), Institute for Community Inclusion, Children's Hospital, Boston, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School"
"Treatment issues in intellectual disability are often confined to closing paragraphs. A major textbook focusing on treatments of people with intellectual disability is timely. Dosen and Day have assembled renowned experts on aspects of therapy to produce a key book and reference source that will be a necessary addition to institutes' libraries. Issues of theory and practice from local and international perspectives are included and models for multidisciplinary approaches are clearly described. This will be a useful handbook for the desks of clinical psychologists and psychiatrists in everyday practice with this group who have a high prevalence of behavior disorders, which are often refractory."-- "William Fraser, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, College of Medicine, University of Wales, Wales, United Kingdom"
