内容説明
Community care for people with challenging behaviours is receiving increasing attention. To provide effective support for such people requires a complex array of managerial and professional skills. This book will provide a guide to the development, organization and support of residential and vocational services for people with severe learning difficulties and challenging behaviours. It should provide a resource for managers and professionals working with challenging behaviours in the NHS, social service departments, local education authorities and the independant sector. The content builds upon and reflects the authors', central involvement in innovative projects to set up community-based services for these clients. It will also aid staff working with these people to develop training materials and post-qualification training schemes. This book should be of interest to managers and professionals working with challenging beaviours in the NHS, social service deapartments, local education authorities.

内容説明
This is a timely book. The question of how to help people with challenging behaviour -and how to design and manage services so that staff, families and users feel that what should be done is being done - is at the top of the agenda. Failure to deal com petently with the issue results in disaffection, poor quality ser vices and a less than optimal quality of life for service users. Moreover, the credibility of services for all people with learning disabilities is intimately connected with how we cope with chal lenging behaviour, a point made recently by a Department of Health Working Group chaired by Jim Mansell (Department of Health, 1993). The book is welcome because it draws together what is known about the important questions from a British perspective, although, of course, most of the underlying issues have world wide relevance. The contributors, while all having a good deal of experience and authority, do not put forward simple portrayals of the problems, nor glib solutions, and this is one of the book's major strengths. Clarity in the field of challenging behaviour is sometimes elu sive. What is presented here forces the reader to confront argu ments in a rational and logical fashion.
