Editorial Reviews

This series publishes integrative reviews on a wide range of current topics, including the psychological and social nature of mental retardation, the biological and neurological basis of behavioral and psychological problems associated with mental retardation, and the nature of problems of adaptation encountered by mentally retarded individuals. The seven articles in Volume 19 represent four general themes: research on service delivery; Alzheimer's disease and the adaptation of elderly mentally retarded individuals; the epidemiology of mental retardation; and applied issues in language development in mentally retarded and other special populations.
