What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The authors successfully straddle the two areas of learning disability and mental health, the result being valuable for both mental health professionals wanting to gain a greater understanding of the application of their discipline to people with learning disabilities, and for those who care for people with a learning disability seeking more understanding of identifying and responding to mental health disorders.” (Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, 2010)
