Industry Reviews

"This book is authored by four professors who are the leading clinical researchers in the field of intellectual disabilities. Their collective expertise and experience are extremely impressive. This book will undoubtedly make an important contribution to the understanding and treatment of the range of difficulties encountered in this population."
?Roz Shafran, Professor of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, Reading University

"The editors have brought together an impressive, international group of contributors to present psychological therapies for people with intellectual disabilities. The volume is rich in clinical examples which are extremely valuable in illustrating the therapeutic techniques in action."
?Betsey Benson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Psychology, Nisonger Center UCEDD, Ohio State University

"Without doubt, Psychological Therapies for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities is the best book available at present on this topic. The editors and contributors are all leading experts in their field, which has resulted in a book that should be standard for practitioners, researchers and students working with people with intellectual disabilities and mental health problems."
?Prof. Dr. Robert Didden, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands

"The book gives a thorough account of the current state of science in psychological therapies for people with learning disabilities and outlines a plausible way forward for clinicians and researchers to develop a stronger evidence base for such interventions. The chapters on lesser known interventions, e.g. mindfulness were very useful and informative. The authors are all well-known experts and have presented the material persuasively and with clarity."
?Angela Hassiotis, Reader in Psychiatry of Intellectual Disabilities, Mental Health Sciences Unit, Faculty of Brain Sciences, University College London
