Textbook of Psychiatry for Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder
by Marco O. Bertelli, Shoumitro (Shoumi) Deb, Kerim Munir, Angela Hassiotis, Luis Salvador-Carulla
Description:
This textbook provides a state of
the art of the knowledge on the prevalence, risk and etiological
factors, clinical features, assessment procedures and tools, diagnostic
criteria, treatment, and prognosis of the psychiatric disorders
encountered in people with intellectual disability (ID) and
low-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ID and ASD represent
two meta-syndromic groups of several different conditions, each with
particular cognitive and communication features. People with ID/ASD
display an increased prevalence of a variety of psychiatric disorders,
including psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and
stress-related disorders, somatoform disorders, and
obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well behavioral syndromes,
personality disorders, and disorders due to psychoactive substance use.
This book will enable readers to understand the specificities of
psychiatric disorders in the context of ID/ASD. It explains clearly how
diagnostic criteria and assessment procedures for psychiatric
disorders that were created for the general population have to be
modified for use with ID/ASD. Above all, it will enable clinicians to
overcome difficulties in diagnosis and to deliver more effective care
that meets the particular needs of patients with ID/ASD.
