What can psychology contribute to the understanding of intellectual disabilities and how does clinical psychology help in supporting people with these disabilities? This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of concepts and problems, as well as covering the clinical and consulting skills that support interventions in this field. Starting from basic issues of epidemiology and cause, the authors consider issues raised when mental health problems co-occur, when sexual abuse is alleged, and when a person's behaviour is found to challenge the resources of the people or services providing support. The authors examine the family context, and how to address it, and also the organizational context and how to understand and work within it (including its legal aspects). Finally, they consider health promotion issues, and how to work with families and communities to improve the wellbeing of people with intellectual disabilities. This is a truly comprehensive text, written out of both rich clinical experience and extensive knowledge of research and training. It will be invaluable for students and practitioners in many disciplines that are involved in the field of intellectual disability.  "This exceptionally well-organized and comprehensive book goes beyond the typical approach to this topic by providing state-of-the-art advice that emphasizes multiple perspectives on assessment and intervention. The material is practical and systems orientated, and reflects a maturity and wisdom stemming from lengthy experience with this population. Highly recommended as a source of useful information and support." Professor Edward Carr, Suny at Stony Brook, New York, USA  "a terrific book ... Eric Emerson and his colleagues have brought together leading experts to give clear expositions of wide ranging and complex topics. This book deserves to be and will undoubtedly become the standard text for trainee and qualified practitioner alike."

People with intellectual disabilities die at a younger age and have poorer health than their non-disabled peers. This is largely avoidable and is unjust. This book uses concepts from contemporary public health to provide a comprehensive evidence-based overview of: the nature and extent of the health inequalities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities; why these inequalities occur and persist; and what can and needs to be done to address these inequalities. The authors have a wealth of firsthand experience gained from years of working at the interface between disability research and public health. This experience is collected and shared in this volume, which will be an invaluable resource for practitioners, advocates, policymakers and researchers concerned with health and social care and the wellbeing of disabled people.

<p>This new book is aimed at all those who have started the hobby by buying a basic model railway kit and want to move from just laying the few pieces of track on the floor to starting to build a model railway themselves. Little has been written to help people wanting to construct a model railway by collecting components together rather than creating a detailed representation of a particular scene. As the ready-to-run market is now producing such high quality models there is little reason to spend hours crafting items such as coaches when all the proprietary models are so good, and more time can be spent planning and developing the layout. The chapters about track, signalling and buildings will all look at a prototype layout to explain why it is constructed as it is, and then explain how to copy this and lay out a model railway in a believable fashion. The author explains how proprietary items such as Peco track and Hornby buildings and platforms can be used and how their believabili</p>
