Summary "The third edition of a text originally published in the 1970s, and then hailed as a "classic," this most recent edition seeks to retain the same degree of comprehensiveness and readability as its predecessors. The book provides up-to-date material on the major dimensions of mental retardation - its nature, its causes, both biological and psychological, and its management."--Jacket
