Chapter 1: Introduction—a discussion of biomedical and
psychosocial influences that place the person with developmental
disabilities at risk for developing challenging behaviors.
Chapter 2: Understanding Challenging Behaviors—a description of
the three categories of factors that influence the occurrence and
habitual recurrence of challenging behaviors, namely, instigating
conditions, vulnerability conditions that places a person at
“increased risk," and reinforcing conditions that
contribute to the purposefulness or function of these behaviors.
Chapter 3: Initiating the Case Formulation Process—a description
of the steps involved in developing a set of diagnostic-intervention
formulations relating to specific challenging behaviors.
Chapter 4: Methods of Gathering Assessment Information—a
description of procedures for gathering the individual specific
diagnostic information needed in the case formulation process.
Chapter 5: Creating Preventive and Proactive
Interventions—translating assessment information into individual
centered biomedical and psychosocial interventions of a preventive
and proactive manner.
Chapter 6: Creating Habilitatively Appropriate
Environments—creating high quality positive environments for
people that support each person in (a) developing personal
competencies, (b) minimizing challenging behaviors, and (c) enriching
his/her life.

Behaviors—changing antecedent conditions to reduce the need for
challenging behaviors and to increase the motivation for appropriate
self-enhancing behaviors.
Chapter 8: Teaching Prosocial Skills as Functional
Replacements—using our knowledge and skills to teach new skills

both in increased personal competencies and enjoyment of life experiences.

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
