The problems faced by those with developmental disabilities are too often heightened by psychiatric or behavioral disorder. These quality of life issues have come to increasing attention over recent years of improved community and social integration. In tune with these concerns, Dr. Bouras has gathered 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 provides concise and relevant contributions. 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 including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, therapists, social workers, and service providers.
