Assessing Medical Issues Associated with Behavioral / Psychiatric
Problems in Persons with Intellectual Diasbility
|
 |
Author: Ann Poindexter, M.D.
FOREWORD:
After forty years of working with individuals with mental
retardation/intellectual disability and behaviorallpsychiatric
problems, I continue to be impressed with the importance of medical
issues in the presentation of behavioral symptoms. While they usually
are not the sole cause of behavioral symptoms, they almost always are
involved to some extent. This book is my attempt to set down the ways
I’ve learned to look for these problems—to quantify the
internal algorithm I use when presented with a person whose behavior
isn’t doing well.” I’ve attempted to lay out questions
which I feel should be asked, which I’ve listed immediately
following this note, and then I’ve amplified discussion of each
area in later chapters. I have included four illustrative
cases—”Very Important People.” (I have, of course,
used pseudonyms for these individuals, and would like to thank
Jarrett Barnhill, Michael Mayer, and Sue Gabriel for their help in
case materials.) In view of the great importance I place on the team
approach to these problems, I’m also including some self-directed
instructional courses which can be used for training team members in
some of the issues. |
