"During the past few years the subject of mental deficiency has evoked a large amount of attention from many prominent persons interested in social and philanthropic questions. To members of the medical profession in particular it is one of much importance, on account of their responsible duties connected with its diagnosis, with the treatment and training of these patients, and their examination and certification as to fitness for special classes and schools, training-homes, and asylums. And there is no doubt that with new legislation, which cannot now long be delayed, these duties and responsibilities will be considerably increased. For these reasons I venture to hope that the account which I have attempted to give in these pages regarding the incidence, causation, pathology, mental and physical characteristics, social relationship, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of persons suffering from mental deficiency, will be found to justify its publication"--Preface.

"Entre 35 % et 50 % des individus déficients intellectuels ont des troubles du comportement qui ont un impact négatif à la fois sur leur qualité de vie et sur celle de leur entourage. Mais qu'est-ce que la déficience intellectuelle exactement ? Et quelles en sont les causes ? Qu'est-ce qu'un trouble du comportement ? Et qu'est-ce qu'on peut qualifier de trouble du comportement chez les personnes déficientes intellectuelles ? Comment comprendre ces moments de crise ? Et comment agir et réagir face à ces situations tendues ? Ce nouveau livre de la collection "La réponse du psy" s'adresse à l'entourage des personnes déficientes intellectuelles. Vivre avec un proche en situation de handicap n'est pas toujours simple mais c'est dans la compréhension mutuelle et le respect des limites et possibilités de chacun qu'une meilleure autonomie et une cohabitation harmonieuse peuvent s'établir."--Page 4 de la couverture.

"This comprehensive, interdisciplinary handbook presents the latest research in the study, assessment, treatment, and understanding of intellectual and developmental disabilities. The past five decades have resulted in dramatic breakthroughs in the understanding of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Editor-in-Chief Laraine Masters Glidden and her editorial team provide an overview of the historical foundations of the field of IDD as well as up-to-date material on clinical diagnosis, assessment, interventions, and treatments for such conditions. It goes on to address legal, ethical, and educational issues; and other social issues that affect the lives of people with IDD, including family impact and adjustment, relationships and parenting, spirituality, residential and caretaking services, maltreatment and criminal justice issues, stigma and ableism, health, and aging. Chapters address the etiology and treatment of specific conditions (including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, other genetic and chromosomal conditions, autism spectrum disorder, acquired brain injury, cerebral palsy, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders) as well as functioning in multiple domains and throughout the lifespan. Contributing causes to IDD are explored within various contexts such as culture, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status."-- Provided by publisher.
