In its 1992 and 2002 definitions of "mental retardation," the American Association of Mental Retardation shifted from a medical model-based definition of disability to a functional one emphasizing the social supports that individuals need to lead better lives. In this update of the 2003 edition, Switzkey (emeritus, educational psychology and special education, Northern Illinois U.) and Greenspan (psychiatry, U. of Colorado Health Sciences Center) introduce 21 essays by leading researchers debating key issues relating to changing definitions and multicultural and other models, and their possible integration. For example, WHO's international classification system and AAMR's are compared. The book is not indexed. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
