5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for MR Professionals, June 17, 2000
Mental Retardation: Nature, Cause and Management is an easy-to-read review of the many issues and concerns related to mental retardation. Educators, mental health providers, residential program staff, health care providers, administrators, policy-makers, and students are offered a wealth of information related to avariety of topics, including: etiology, impact of MR on individual psychosocial functioning and personality, history and nature of support services for persons with MR, MR & sexuality, and dual diagnosis.

Baroff summarizes the relevant research from a variety of disciplines ranging from the genetics and biology to linguistics, psychology, and education. He also provides detailed descriptions of common services, programs, and practical dilemmas encountered by persons with MR and the people who care for them. The 50-page bibliography is, in itself, an important resource.
