This book provides parents, mental health professionals, teachers, and caregivers the keys to understanding how to promote mental wellness and resolve psychosocial problems in people with Down syndrome. This book is written by the founding directors of the Adult Down Syndrome Center of Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois. The authors draw on nearly 30 years of combined experience, treating more than 3000 adolescents and adults with Down syndrome aged 12 to 83. This book clarifies what the common behavioral characteristics of Down syndrome are, how some could be mistaken for mental illness, and what bona fide mental health problems occur more commonly in people with Down syndrome

"This book covers Bernard's life from birth to death--from 1090 to1153--with the background of the first great medieval reformation of the Church and the founding and expansion of the Cistercian Order. It addresses what brought him to the monastery, how he related to its abbot, Stephen Harding, and what it was like to found a daughter house for Cîteaux at Clairvaux. Bernard is seen through his first attempts to apply his knowledge and convictions on behalf of monks and abbots outside his own monastery."--

First published in 1988, this book has been widely debated, inspiring the current interest on medieval friendship. In a new introduction, McGuire surveys the critical reaction to the original edition and new research on friendship.
