Providing Health Care For Individuals With Intellectual Disability
and Mental Health Conditions In Rural Settings
|
 |
Author: John Holderegger, M.S. & Ann R. Poindexter, M.D.
Description:
People who provide services in rural areas for individuals with
intellectual disability and behavioral/psychiatric problems face a
multitude of problems—and many have developed innovative,
effective ways to address these problems. This book describes both
the problems that are routinely faced and the solutions that have
been and are being developed to solve these problems. While these
solutions have occurred in rural areas, many should be readily
transferable to more urban settings.
John Holderegger, MS, is director of Mountain Regional Services,
Inc., in Evanston, Wyoming. Ann R. Poindexter, MD, Conway Arkansas,
is a primary care physician with many years of experience in working
with individuals with intellectual; disability and
behavioral/psychiatric problems. Both have worked together for a
number of years to ensure the provision of good services for people
with the two disability sets who live in rural/remote areas.

Human Needs and Intellectual Disabilities: Applications for Person
Centered Planning, Dual Diagnosis, and Crisis Intervention
Steven Reiss, Ph.D.
Human Needs and Intellectual Disabilities identifies the 12 human
needs most relevant to the lives of people with intellectual
disabilities, autism and related developmental disabilities. It
includes detailed, practical suggestions for caregivers or parents
interested in the happiness, quality of life, and self-determintion
of their loved ones or consumers. The book includes detailed,
practical suggestions for reducing episodes of challenging behavior
and psychiatric symptoms in people with a dual diagnosis
(intellectual disabilities and mental illness). It shows how to
substitute the language of individuality (e.g., "friendly
person") for the language of disability (e.g., "person with
disability"). It also reduces the tendency of planners to
confuse their own value system for that of the consumer. The
book includes scholarly reviews of dual diagnosis literature on
mental illness, prevalence, and assessment.

Positive Identity Development
Author: Karyn Harvey, PhD
Positive Identity Development is an exciting new approach to
treatment for individuals with intellectual disabilities. This
book provides a new theoretical perspective on treatment along with a
variety of innovative tools. It rejects reducing adults with
intellectual disabilities to a mere compilation of their behaviors
and promotes the use of a positive, therapeutic approach to each
unique individual. Psychologists, social workers and therapists
should be able to use the tools presented in this book to directly
enhance the effectiveness of the treatment they provide to adults
with intellectual disabilities. This book promotes well-being on
every level and explores a broad range of issues relevant to the life
and mental health of adults with intellectual disabilities
