Tests for Dual Diagnosis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Intellectual Disabilities

Part of the book series: Autism and Child Psychopathology Series ((ACPS))

Abstract

This chapter reviews the different instruments used for the evaluation of dual diagnosis, which is understood as the association of psychopathological disorders in people with intellectual disabilities (ID). The diagnosis of a mental disorder in a person with ID can be complicated and not entirely accurate, although achieving it is essential to understand the nature of the problem and to carry out an adequate intervention. In addition, depending on the degree of cognitive affectation, it may be necessary to work with behavioral equivalents and third-person observations.

This chapter describes the main instruments developed so far and with a larger number of psychometric analysis available. The current situation of these tools is also analyzed, offering a critical vision of their future.
