Book excerpt: The most timely and authoritative information available on the rapidly expanding literature on psychopathology in mentally retarded persons is presented in this long-awaited update. In it, today's leading experts cover all the major areas of psychopathology. Travis Thompson, Sara Axtell, and David Schaal discuss self-injury by people with mental retardation and autism. David A. Coe and Johnny L. Matson cover the largely neglected conditions of hyperactivity, sexual difficulties, and tic disorders. William I. Gardner and Christine L. Cole look at aggression and related conduct disorders. Thomas H. Ollendick, Donald P. Oswald, and Duane G. Ollendick review anxiety disorders as they appear in persons with mental retardation. Robert Sovner and Robert J. Pary assess the area of affective disorders in developmentally disabled persons. Raymond G. Romanczyk, Stephanie Lockshin, and Kelly Harrison look at the complex issue of the coexistence or parallelism of psychopathology for individuals with mental retardation - in particular schizophrenia and autism. And in an enlightening discussion, William E. MacLean reviews the field of psychopathology and mental retardation since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1982. In each chapter the experts not only cover the experimental literature, but also critically analyze the field, including a look at current strengths and needs for future research. Included in this edition is a new chapter on hyperactivity and drug abuse, and personality disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current estimates suggest that between one and three percent of people living in the United States will receive a diagnosis of mental retardation. Mental retardation, a condition characterized by deficits in intellectual capabilities and adaptive behavior, can be particularly hard to diagnose in the mild range of the disability. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides income support and medical benefits to individuals with cognitive limitations who experience significant problems in their ability to perform work and may therefore be in need of governmental support. Addressing the concern that SSA's current procedures are consistent with current scientific and professional practices, this book evaluates the process used by SSA to determine eligibility for these benefits. It examines the adequacy of the SSA definition of mental retardation and its current procedures for assessing intellectual capabilities, discusses adaptive behavior and its assessment, advises on ways to combine intellectual and adaptive assessment to provide a complete profile of an individual's capabilities, and clarifies ways to differentiate mental retardation from other conditions.

Book excerpt: This volume aims to provide the reader with a contemporary account of his torical, diagnostic, treatment-management (including the individual and the service systems perspectives), and training dimensions of mentally ill/mentally retarded individuals from interdisciplinary perspectives. Emphasis is placed on current and evolving aspects of this topic. The broad scope of our approach is consistent with the concepts and practices that currently typify this topical area of clinical and research activity. This volume is divided into five sections. Part I deals with the definitional aspects: the nature and incidence, the historical aspects, and a view of assessing the types of needs of mentally ill/mentally retarded individuals. Part II ad dresses the key issues in treatment intervention: from an individual therapeutic aspect through vocational considerations, as well as the role of the parents in these helping processes. Part III focuses on systems of service delivery, ranging from inpatient and day treatment models to the delivery of services in the home; at all times, the emphasis is on programs that have been successful. Part IV presents a modern perspective on the multiple challenges in training both men tal health and mental retardation specialists, as well as the critical dimension of providing a well-trained cadre of paraprofessionals in both fields. And finally, Part V encompasses key current research perspectives as well as possible future directions for this rapidly growing area of professional interest and involve ment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1985, The President's Committee on Mental Retardation (PCMR) spon sored a National Strategy Conference on Mental Retardation and Mental Health in Washington, D.C. The purpose of this conference was to bring together our nation's leadership in the fields of mental retardation and mental health in order to delineate the state of the art relative to the diagnosis, care, and treatment of citizens with mental retardation/mental illness, as well as to chart a national course for the support and integration of citizens with these challenging needs into the confluence of family and community life. The President's Committee on Mental Retardation recognized that citizens with these needs constitute one of the most underserved and, at times, forgotten segments of the population. With this in mind, the PCMR called together govern mental, professional, and parental representatives from across the nation to define the nature and extent of the problem, programs, and services that promise hope for substantive improvement in the quality of life of citizens with mental retardation/mental illness.
