With chapters on specific disabilities such as autism and epilepsy, the authors cover topics such as:* treatment and interventions for mental health problems* getting the best services and understanding policy around mental health and intellectual disabilities* legal issues, for example, what it means to `give consent'* carers' needs and support for carers.Written with advice from carers and people with intellectual disabilities who use mental health services, this book is an essential resource for all those who care for, and with, people with learning disabilities.

Recensioner i media

Highly commended by the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE) Positive Practices Awards in the Learning Disabilities and Mental Health category for 2004'The guide covers, in detail, a complex body of knowledge, in both a sensitive and accessible manner. It is neither patronising nor lofty in its approach, recognizing the needs of families and carers as central at all times. This target audience should find it of real benefit in demystifying the complex issues and challenging situations with which they are faced and in accessing a directory to additional support available.'
