Beskrivning

Using a developmental perspective, the authors offer a new, integrated model for supporting people with intellectual disability(ID). This concept builds upon recent advances in attachment informed approaches, by drawing upon a broader understanding of the social, emotional, and cognitive competencies of people with ID, which is grounded in developmental neuroscience andpsychology. The book explores in detail how challenging behaviour and mental health difficulties in people with ID arise when their basic emotional needs are not being met by those in the environment. Using individually tailored interventions, whichcomplement existing models of care, practitioners can help to facilitate maturational processes and reduce behaviour that ischallenging to others. As a result, the "fit" of a person within his or her individual environment can be improved. Case examplesthroughout the book illuminate how this approach works by targeting interventions towards the person's stage of emotionaldevelopment.This book will be of interest to a wide range of professionals working with people with ID, including: clinical psychologists,psychiatrists, occupational therapists, learning disability nurses, speech and language therapists, and teachers in special education settings, as well as parents and caregivers.

This clear, scientifically rigorous and practical approach has the potential to radically improve our care of this most deserving group of people with intellectual disabilities. I cannot recommend it more highly to professionals working in the field.;Allan Skelly, PhD, PsychD, AFBPS, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Gateshead, UK, & Former Chair of The Faculty for People with intellectual Disabilities, British Psychological Society; How can we help those with intellectual disability (ID) live in the world and relate to those around them in the most content and happy way possible? What can we do to help them thrive? Sappok (a medical doctor), Zapperitz (a behavioral specialist), and Hudson (a clinical psychologist), have used the emotional development approach to understand challenging behaviors encountered at different stages of development in those with an intellectual disability. This detailed book, of use to clinicians, physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, physical/speech/language/occupational therapists, mental health professionals, learning disability nurses, special education teachers, dentists, parents, families and caregivers, gives us a useful road map for understanding developmental stages and needs over the lifetime. It is especially valuable in that it provides suggestions, ideas and solutions for how to deal effectively with challenging behaviors in those with ID. ;Marcie Parker, PhD, CFLE, Excelsior, MN, USA, in Issues in Mental Health Nursing (2022), 43, 390-391;
