'Psychiatric and Behavioural Disorders in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2nd edition is a well-crafted and most useful addition to the ID field. It would make an excellent introductory text for any new student entering the field, but is also sufficiently detailed and so well-referenced that it makes a valuable addition to the library of a seasoned practitioner. In addition, the readability makes it reasonable to recommend to families and non-professional staff who have an interest in advancing their knowledge in a particular area.'

'This book is a concise and well-written collection of chapters on the assessment and treatment of psychiatric and behavioural disorders among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. … In most training programs little time is devoted to this special population, which makes this book a tool in the treatment of this diverse group of people.'

'… the editors have produced an excellent well-researched tool for hands-on clinical practice. With its clarity, reader-friendly style, up-to-date knowledge and practical relevance, this is a text which is highly recommended for anyone involved in the field of intellectual disabilities, from students to clinicians and managers.'
