Summary

Understanding the person behind the behavior opens up a richer variety of interventions with the developmentally disabled. Rather than restricting attention to shaping behavior itself, Campbell and Ladner assert that insights into causes are key to helping clinicians overcome obstacles to empathy. Their book is rooted in the conviction that there is no substitute for compassion in facing the challenges of dealing with the developmentally disabled.
