The Handbook covers descriptive and diagnostic characteristics, biological contributions, intervention techniques, as well as legal and social issues. The Fourth Edition includes new research on genetics, neurobiology, and brain imaging, as well as new coverage of sophisticated methods of screening and assessment.
