  This volume describes how psychology can be used to understand and remediate the learning and behavioural difficulties experienced by people with severe intellectual impairment and learning disabilities. The author has drawn from a wide range of psychological research, both academic and applied, and strongly asserts the value of this knowledge to bring about improvements in everyday practice. He also stresses the need to integrate the diverse areas of psychology. Bridging the research-practice gap makes this text useful to both practitioners and students in clinical psychology, educational psychology, social work and mental health.
