  • Title: Treatment of psychiatric morbidity in the mentally retarded adult.
    Author: Lund J.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Scand; 1986 Apr; 73(4):429-36. PubMed ID: 2873716.
    Abstract:
    302 mentally retarded (MR) adults, representative of the total Danish MR population were surveyed for present psychiatric treatment and care. The care was generally satisfactory with the majority living under good conditions and provided with a fairly sufficient level of training and occupational therapy. The psychopharmacological treatment was balanced and performed after modern principles. However, more elaborate psychiatric treatment approaches, such as psychotherapy and behavioural therapy, were only used in very few cases, despite the obvious need. A brief review is given and a guide to the literature on psychiatric treatment in the field of mental retardation.
