“The book’s contributors do not shy away from the inherently political nature of this new approach and, as such, politicians as well as healthcare professionals should read it.” Liz Lynne MEP. This book identifies existing and emerging areas of learning disability practice. The chapters deal with: court diversion; dual diagnosis; challenging behaviour; primary healthcare assessment and intervention; reflective practice and clinical supervision; cultural diversity; sensory impairment; and children. Each chapter offers a theoretical underpinning that is grounded in the appropriate literature. The text promotes not only the different domains of practice, but also an emerging evidence base for this specialist practice area.
