“…******************************** insert Table 2 about here******************************** The high number of studies included suggests that it is feasible to use exploratory factor analysis to model psychopathology experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities. None of the studies reported problems with the methods of analysis due to problems with the data; although five studies reported excluding items of psychopathology from the analysis because of zero (Gustafsson & Sonnander, 2005;Gustafsson & Sonnander, 2002;Sturmey et al, 2004;Sturmey et al, 2010;Gerber & Carminati, 2013) or less than one per cent (Matson et al, 1991) variance.…”

Diagnosing mental ill-health using categorical classification systems has limited validity for clinical practice and research. Dimensions of psychopathology have greater validity than categorical diagnoses but dimensional models have not had a significant impact on our understanding of mental ill-health experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities. This paper systematically reviews the methods and findings from intellectual disabilities studies that use statistical methods to identify dimensions of psychopathology from data collected using structured assessments of psychopathology. The PRISMA framework for systematic review was used to identify studies for inclusion. Study methods were compared to best-practice guidelines on the use of exploratory factor analysis. Data from the 20 studies included suggest that it is possible to use statistical methods to model dimensions of psychopathology experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities. However, none of the studies used methods recommended for the analysis of non-continuous psychopathology data and all 20 studies used statistical methods that produce unstable results that lack reliability. Statistical modelling is a promising methodology to improve our understanding of mental ill-health experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities but future studies should use robust statistical methods to build on the existing evidence base.3

“…Five studies used the recommended parallel analysis (Zeilinger et al, 2010) or scree plot (Matson et al, 1991;Sturmey et al, 1996;Sturmey et al, 2005;Janssen & Maes, 2013). Twelve (70.5%) studies used a minimum eigenvalue (EV) cut-off as the single method to decide how many factors to extract from the data.…”

“…It contains 13 subscales: Anxiety, Depression, Mania, Autism and Other Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Schizophrenia, Stereotypies and Tics, SelfInjurious Behavior, Elimination Disorders, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Sexual Disorders, Organic Syndromes, and Impulse Control and Other Miscellaneous Behaviors. A factor analysis of the items yielded the following six factors: emotional lability, aggression/conduct disorder, language disorder/verbal aggression, social withdrawal, eating disorder, and sleep disorder (Matson, Coe, Gardner, & Sovner, 1990). Additional investigations into the validity of the subscales of the DASH-II suggest that the scale is a valid measure for screening for psychopathology in developmentally disabled individuals (Matson et al, 1999;Matson & Smiroldo, 1997;Matson, Rush et al / PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 629 Smiroldo, & Hastings, 1998;Paclawskyj, Matson, Bamburg, & Baglio, 1997).…”

Individuals with developmental disabilities are at high risk for developing mental health problems. The prevalence of psychopathology is approximately 4 times higher than that found in the general population. Yet there is a tendency to underdiagnose psychiatric disorders in the developmentally delayed population because of diagnostic overshadowing, the lack of appropriate diagnostic criteria, and the paucity of appropriate assessment measures. Over the past decade, there has been an emergence of scales developed specifically to screen for psychopathology in individuals with developmental disabilities. In addition, advancements have been made in observation techniques, thus facilitating the ability to objectively observe behaviors often described as internal events. A description of a multimethod approach to assessing psychopathology in individuals with developmental disabilities is provided incorporating the recent advancements in the field, as well as suggestions for future research.

Levetiracetam bei erwachsenen, schwer geistig behinderten EpilepsiepatientenProspektive, psychometrische Studie zur Verträglichkeit Leitthema: Originalarbeit Levetiracetam (LEV) hat sich in vielen Studien und nach seiner Zulassung im Jahr 2000 als effektives und gut verträgliches Antikonvulsivum in der epileptologischen Praxis bewährt. Auch bei Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung weisen mehrere Untersuchungen darauf hin, dass unter LEVMedikation eine gute Anfallskontrolle erreicht werden kann [7, 10, 20]. Demgegenüber finden sich Hinweise darauf, dass es im Rahmen der LEVTherapie gehäuft zu Verhaltens-bzw. emotionalen Störungen bei Epilepsiepatienten kommt, insbesondere zu Depressionen, psychomotorischer Unruhe und aggressivem Verhalten sowie auch zu Schlafstörungen [3, 6].
