Reviews

"""The book’s style is remarkably readable and consistent for a multi-author text ... I would enthusiastically recommend this book to all clinicians with an interest in the mental health of people with intellectual disability or who have responsibility for managing and developing services. In particular, I think that service managers and commissioners will find it a valuable source of guidance and inspiration."" - Adam Kirby, The Ridge Hill Centre, in Journal of Intellectual Disability Research ""I would enthusiastically recommend this book to all clinicians with an interest in the MH of people with ID or who have responsibility for managing and developing services.
