This textbook provides a state of the art of the knowledge on the prevalence, risk and etiological factors, clinical features, assessment procedures and tools, diagnostic criteria, treatment, and prognosis of the psychiatric disorders encountered in people with intellectual disability (ID) and low-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Social Inclusion Tactics for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
An intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) is a lifelong condition that limits intelligence, learning, and daily life skills. People with IDDs are often not integrated in mainstream society. They have fewer opportunities to participate in recreational activities, hindering their social inclusion, which has the potential to diminish quality of life. As a compassionate society, we must understand how people with IDDs can be socially integrated to ensure their mental health and to maximize their potential so that they can contribute to society in their unique way. Social Inclusion Tactics for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities promotes the social integration of people with IDDs and aims to increase awareness about the lack of opportunities for socialization for people with IDDs. Covering topics such as autism, children with disabilities, and societal inclusion, this book is a valuable resource for organizations, policymakers, academicians, researchers, sociologists, and more.
Phantom Limb
Phantom limb pain is one of the most intractable and merciless pains ever known—a pain that haunts appendages that do not physically exist, often persisting with uncanny realness long after fleshy limbs have been traumatically, surgically, or congenitally lost. The very existence and “naturalness” of this pain has been instrumental in modern science’s ability to create prosthetic technologies that many feel have transformative, self-actualizing, and even transcendent power. In Phantom Limb, Cassandra S. Crawford critically examines phantom limb pain and its relationship to prosthetic innovation, tracing the major shifts in knowledge of the causes and characteristics of the phenomenon...

A Clinician's Guide to Mental Health Conditions in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders
This comprehensive and much-needed guide addresses the issues faced by clinicians in assessing and treating the range of mental health conditions, which can affect adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Its particular focus on adults fills a notable gap in the ASD professional literature, with an extensive array of contributors from across the psychology and healthcare professions. Covering a wide variety of common co-occurring mental health conditions including mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, personality disorders, and eating disorders, this guide also explores broader issues to do with promoting positive mental health and wellbeing. Authoritative and detailed, this is an essential resource for all clinicians and professionals looking to understand and tailor their approach to mental health in autistic adults, and the need for specific methods and strategies to enhance assessment and treatment.
Trauernde Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung begleiten
Stephanie Witt-Loers stellt dar, wie Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung trauern und wie sie in ihrem Trauerprozess unterstützt und gut begleitet werden können. Wie erleben Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung den Verlust eines nahestehenden Menschen? Menschen mit geistigen Behinderungen sind nicht alle gleich eingeschränkt. Sie verfügen über unterschiedliche kognitive und motorische Fähigkeiten und unterscheiden sich ebenfalls in ihrem sozial-emotionalen Verhalten. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Unterschiede gibt Stephanie Witt-Loers Hinweise, wie geistig behinderte Menschen hilfreich begleitet werden können. Erfahrungsberichte machen deutlich, was der Verlust für Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung bedeutet und wie eine konkrete Unterstützung aussehen kann.
