520    "'Challenging' behaviours are common among people with 
       intellectual disabilities, resulting in significantly 
       reduced quality of life. These may include aggression, 
       self-injury, destructiveness, hyperactivity and 
       inappropriate social conduct. This new edition provides a 
       concise, accessible and contemporary summary of current 
       knowledge about challenging behaviour, drawn from 
       psychology, psychiatry, medicine and public health. Fully 
       updated and revised, it includes comprehensive coverage of
       the epidemiology and aetiology of challenging behaviours, 
       and evidence of the efficacy and effectiveness of 
       different approaches to intervention. This edition 
       contains significantly expanded sections on the emergence 
       and development of challenging behaviour and strategies 
       for prevention, at the level of both individuals and 
       service systems. Essential reading for students 
       undertaking professional training in health and related 
       aspects of intellectual disabilities, including 
       psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, teachers and social 
       workers. This book is a key text for professional staff 
       delivering health, educational and social care services to
       people with intellectual disabilities"--|cProvided by

520    "Over the past four decades we have learned much about the
       nature of challenging behaviours and developed approaches 
       to support and intervention that have been shown to be 
       effective, for some people, in bringing about rapid and 
       socially significant reductions in challenging behaviour. 
       The primary aim of this book is to provide a concise 
       overview of this body of knowledge. This is not, however, 
       a 'how-to-do-it' book. Instead, it will focus on 
       describing developments in knowledge that have important 
       implications for practice. A range of alternative texts 
       are available for those seeking detailed instructions for 
       carrying out intervention programs"--|cProvided by
