The editors of Clinical Perspectives in the Management of Down Syndrome have compiled a body of research which does more than categorize this historically misunderstood and misrepresented condition. Once believed to signify regression to an ethnic variant of lower cultural standing, Down syndrome has become the subject of interdisciplinary research. This volume approaches the condition from perspectives in fields such as psychology, dentistry, and rehabilitation; issues discussed within these disciplines reveal a wider range of potential understanding as experts examine Down syndrome individuals and the concerns which surround them, from alternative and controversial therapies to sexuality and reproduction.
