First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

This fully revised and expanded second edition brings together findings from research and clinical practice, with comprehensive coverage of the important aspects of physical health in persons with intellectual disability.

In common with the rest of the population, patients with intellectual disabilities are experiencing increased longevity. Evidence suggests that mental health disorders may occur in up to half of all persons with intellectual disability and that these disorders accelerate significantly with age. The purpose of the book is to highlight mental health and behavioural needs in adults with intellectual disabilities and to become a source of reference regarding a number of mental health conditions in this population as well as a sourcebook for treatments of choice.

This book addresses the needs of older adults (age 45 and older) with developmental disabilities and adults with other lifelong disabilities who have similar needs. It discusses age-related and disability-related issues in community life.
