Lubetsky, Martin J.; And Others

Mental Retardation, v33 n4 p251-56 Aug 1995

This paper explains the interdisciplinary team concept blended with the family-centered approach in a psychiatric setting and applies the approach in a case study of a family with a child diagnosed with mental retardation, autism, and severe behavior problems. Practical suggestions for implementing such a family-centered/interdisciplinary team approach are offered. (Author/DB)
