“…The educationallbehavioural approach to these emotional and behavioural problems is to regard them as challenging according to learning principles in people who cannot easily adapt to stress because of deficits in various skills (Murphy 1987;Martin 1991). The alternative psychopathological approach takes the view that at least some of these disturbed behaviours are psychiatric disorders which are the same as seen in children of normal intellectual ability (Reid 1982).…”

The Developmental Behaviour Checklist (DBC) was developed to assess psychopathology in children with intellectual disabilities. A cut-off point between "non-cases' and "cases' was determined by comparison of the total scores with psychiatric clinical assessment. This paper describes a method aimed at determining the types of psychiatric problems in those regarded as "cases'. Factor analysis with varimax rotation carried out on a sample of 1093 subjects extracted six factors. Standardized factor scores were calculated for each subject in a community sample (n = 450), and the only or the dominant positive score was determined for each of the "cases'. Over 80% of "cases' could be allotted to one condition. Only a small number had none, or three or more conditions. The same procedure was replicated on a validation sample (n = 448) with even more satisfactory results. Differences in the prevalence of the six conditions by sex, age and level of mental retardation were ascertained. The validity and clinical relevance of this method are discussed.

“…Similar training initiatives have been reported elsewhere in the areas of prevention of eating disorders, 15,16 and in the treatment of other psychiatric disorders. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] This is the first paper to report on the establishment of a coordinated provincial network of specialized treatment and prevention services following an intense period of community-based outreach training.…”

The Ontario Community Outreach Program for Eating Disorders is a pilot training project within the eating disorder programs at the University Health Network--Toronto General Hospital (TGH) and the Hospital for Sick Children. This system provides ongoing training, consultation, and research evaluation in areas ranging from prevention through to tertiary care, in the hopes of increasing the capacity of practitioners to respond to the healthcare pressures of those experiencing eating disorders. A total of 3,315 health care practitioners and educators in Ontario participated in community-based training workshops. A pre-post analysis of participants' self-report evaluations was conducted using chi-square analyses. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant increase in participants' (a) knowledge of eating disorders and of body image issues and (b) level of comfort to either treat clients with eating disorders or teach a curriculum on body image. The contribution of the training program to the development of a provincial network of specialized eating disorder services, designed to promote the public's access to timely and appropriate care for the full spectrum of eating disorders, are discussed.

Issues in the taxonomy of psychopathology in mental retardation

Several factors appear to impede the development of a valid taxonomy of psychopathology in children and adolescents with mental retardation. These include (a) the lack of a widely accepted definition of psychopathology in mental retardation, (b) disagreement on the nature of the relationship between mental retardation and psychopathology, and (c) insufficient evidence for the reliability and validity of current DSM or ICD systems in this population. In this article, we offer a definition of psychopathology in children with mental retardation; review concepts of the relationship between psychopathology and mental retardation; argue that in moving toward a valid taxonomy factors to be considered should include data from multivariate studies, findings related to behavior phenotypes, and diagnostic considerations with stereotypic behavior and self-injury, organic brain syndromes and pervasive developmental disorders. Finally, we outline a research strategy that may serve as a useful framework for developing a valid taxonomy of psychopathology in this population.
