Publisher's Synopsis
The problems faced by those individuals with developmental disability are all too often heightened by psychiatric or behavioural disorder. These quality of life issues have come to increasing attention over recent years of improved community and social integration. In tune with this mood of concern, Dr Bouras has gathered together a comprehensive dossier of essential facts and concepts for all those involved with the care of the dually diagnosed. Drawing on both clinical experience and the latest research, an international and multiprofessional team of contributors provide concise and relevant reviews. They highlight the principles for good clinical practice in assessment, management and services, providing hands-on practical advice for a wide range of mental health professionals.
