Description
Love, Attachment and Intellectual Disability: Meeting Emotional Needs and Developmental Trauma This book brings together the authors' experience working in clinical learning disabilities services to present a new approach to caring. It focuses on attachment-based care, moving away from managing challenging behaviour towards understanding the emotional development of people with intellectual disabilities. The book introduces key theories that underpin this approach, followed by case studies that highlight the importance of early love and attachment. These case studies are presented as individual therapy sessions or overviews of progress across many sessions, offering a glimpse into the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. This book is relevant to all health and social care professionals who work with people with intellectual disabilities, as well as advocates, service commissioners, families, and healthcare generalists. It provides valuable insights for anyone involved in supporting these individuals.
