The association between pain, low mood and challenging behaviour in intellectual disability

Both volume I and II of this thesis are submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Clinical Psychology (ClinPsyD) at the University of Birmingham. Volume I includes the research component, comprising of three papers; a literature review, empirical paper and public domain briefing document. Both the literature review and empirical paper were prepared for submission to the American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, although contrary to journal requirements (see Appendix A for author’s guidelines), tables and figures have been integrated into the text. Volume II includes the clinical component, comprising of five papers; a formulation of one client from two psychological perspectives, a service evaluation, a single case experimental design and two case studies. Client anonymity is ensured throughout through the use of pseudonyms which have been applied to all individuals included within each report.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
