Summary:

This book offers clinicians a condensed and accessible approach to treating patients with disabilities. Experts in such diverse areas as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, spinal cord injury, chronic illness, visual and hearing disabilities, amputation, mental retardation, and autism provide their specialized cognitive-behavioral interventions. Each offers a comprehensive review of the nature of the dysfunction, appropriate models, assessment strategies, developmental considerations, and state-of-the-art treatment approaches. For practitioners who are attempting to address the unique and highly complex psychological needs of individuals with disabilities, this volume is an invaluable resource.
