Need help with a difficult client ? Wonder what is underlying certain behaviors ?
Try the BEHAVIORAL DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
for Developmental Disabilities
by A. Gedye, PhD (1998)
With the present state of knowledge, a worker in the field of developmental disabilities would have to read a vast array of published literature across a wide range of professional specialties and subject matters in order to consistently make accurate diagnoses which lead to relevant treatments. This book has done much of that work for you. It is a practical book to help rule in or out certain conditions that can cause aggression, self-injury, screaming, sleep and eating disturbances, dementia, and unusual falls. There are 11 different diagnostic categories for aggression, 10 for self-injury, 7 for screaming, 14 for dementia, and so on. This book describes common ways the behavioral concern presents, agents or factors that can worsen it, persons who may be at risk for it, and medical screening that might help detect treatable conditions underlying the behavior. In addition, there are practical suggestions for what information to collect to facilitate the diagnostic process, especially since many individuals cannot be interviewed or self-report. The Appendix includes 15 charts and symptom checklists to further aid in collecting relevant diagnostic information. Over 500 references are cited. This guide is wide-ranging, comprehensive, and designed to be easy to use. ( 8 1/2” X 11”, 237 pages, spiral bound )
