商品描述

This book suggests and promotes new paradigms for intellectual disability. Challenging the predominant neoliberal agenda, it combines extensive clinical experience, conceptual analysis, and recent research. The authors explore the way that promotion of autonomy and choice overlooks the fundamentally relational needs of people with intellectual disabilities by examining four significant, repeating themes. What neoliberal policies are and how they suffocate innovation; the recurring scandals that characterise ID services in all cultures; the counter-intuitive belief that behavioural interventions can somehow address emotional distress; and fundamental tensions in the relationship between parents and services. Each chapter proposes alternative and hopeful ways to address the 40% of people with intellectual disabilities whose distress generates challenges for parents and staff. Written primarily for intellectual disability researchers, professionals, service managers, and policy-makers, this book constitutes a useful reading also for scholars in psychology, psychiatry and nursing, as well as specialist historians, geographers, sociologists, and social anthropologists engaged with intellectual disabilities.

這本書提出並推廣了智能障礙的新範式。挑戰主流的新自由主義議程，它結合了廣泛的臨床經驗、概念分析和最新的研究。作者們通過探討四個重要且重複出現的主題，來探討促進自主和選擇的方式如何忽視了智能障礙者根本的關係需求。這些主題包括：新自由主義政策是什麼以及它們如何扼殺創新；在所有文化中都存在的反覆發生的智能障礙服務醜聞；行為干預如何以某種方式應對情緒困擾的反直覺信念；以及父母和服務之間關係中的基本張力。每一章提出了解決智能障礙者中40%的人所產生的困擾對父母和工作人員構成挑戰的替代和有希望的方法。本書主要針對智能障礙研究人員、專業人士、服務經理和政策制定者，同時也適合心理學、精神病學和護理學等領域的學者閱讀，以及專門從事智能障礙相關研究的歷史學家、地理學家、社會學家和社會人類學家。
