Learning Disability and Other Intellectual Impairments - Meeting Needs Throughout Health Services
Louise L. Clark and Peter Griffiths
Publishing December 2007 / 256 pages / ISBN: 9780470034712 / Paperback / £23.99
Learning Disability and Other Intellectual Impairments identifies the skills and knowledge that health care students and professionals need in order to work with intellectually impaired patients whether they are in the hospital or at home. It gives accounts of the experiences of professionals who have worked with this patient group, as well as providing ways in which delivery of patient services can be improved upon. The book integrates the academic and clinical approaches and provides coverage of intellectual impairment as a whole - for example it looks at people with acquired brain injury, dementia and long-term mental health issues which have resulted in cognitive deficit - rather than just focusing on people with learning disabilities.
Special Features:
Integrates academic and clinical literature
Contributors have a range of experiences in intellectual impairment, including nursing, pharmaceuticals, psychiatry and the theatre
Accessible approach suitable for students with no prior knowledge of learning disabilities.
