CRIMINAL OFFENDERS WITH MENTAL RETARDATION: RISK ASSESSMENT AND THE
CONTINUUM OF COMMUNITY-BASED TREATMENT PROGRAMS
|
 |
Author: Edwin J. Mikkelsen, M.D. & Wayne J. Stelk, Ph.D.
Description:
Individuals who present with the combination of developmental
disabilities and a history of criminal offenses elicit a wide variety
of responses from clinicians and administrators. These responses vary
from overly punitive to dismissive. It is relatively easy to find
examples of each extreme applied to the same type of offense in
different areas. The purpose of this monograph is to present a
systematic objective method of assessment that can facilitate the
development of clinically appropriate individualised community
treatment programs. The Appendix to this monograph contains an
Annotated Bibliography of selected recently published articles on
this subject. |

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
