500			_aDiscusses what psychology contributes to the understanding of intellectual disabilities and how does clinical psychology help in supporting people with these disabilities. Provides an overview of concepts and problems, as well as covering the clinical and consulting skills that support interventions in this field. Presents basic issues of epidemiology and cause, considers issues raised when mental health problems co-occur, when sexual abuse is alleged, and when a person's behaviour is found to challenge the resources of the people or services providing support. Examines the family context, and how to address it, and also the organizational context and how to understand and work within it (including its legal aspects). Also covers health promotion issues, and how to work with families and communities to improve the wellbeing of people with mental retardation.
