Maladaptive behaviors and psychiatric disorders are common in individuals with intellectual disabilities. In clinical practice as well as in scientific literature much attention is given to the diagnosis, analysis and treatment of such disorders. Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become an important international movement in psychotherapy, and recent years have shown an increased focus on - and need for - the use of EBP in treatment in the field of intellectual disabilities. This is the first book dedicated to specifically addressing EBP in this area. <p>The authors review the current evidence base for behavioral and psychiatric disorders common in children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Treatment modalities are reviewed according to criteria for evidence based practice. In addition to this, clinical guidelines are given based on the strength of evidence of treatments for a given problematic behavioral topography or disorder. <i>Evidence-Based Practice and Intellectual Disabilities</i> will be highly relevant to a wide audience, including professionals working in community services, clinicians working in special education schools, residential facilities, and psychiatric hospitals, and parents and organizations involved in the care of individuals with intellectual disabilities.</p>
