Description
Forensic Issues in Adolescents with Developmental Disabilities by Ernest Gralton provides a comprehensive understanding of working with this complex population in forensic settings. The book explores the unique needs and challenges of adolescents with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders, acquired brain injury, and complex comorbidities. It delves into assessment, intervention, and treatment options, as well as the role of various professionals such as forensic psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, education, art psychotherapy, and social work. The book also addresses issues in secure and community settings, legal aspects of working with this client group, and risk assessment. This first comprehensive account of forensic issues in adolescents with developmental disabilities will be an indispensable resource for professionals including child and adolescent psychiatrists, community psychiatric nurses, developmental paediatricians, social workers, youth workers, lawyers, and advocates.
