Historically, the perceived relation between mental illness and mental retardation has undergone substantial changes. During the past 2 centuries, clinical observations and systematic research addressing these 2 constructs have developed along separate lines. Consequently, the pathogenesis and treatment of psychopathology, emotional disorders, and behavior problems experienced by individuals with mental retardation have not been the purview of mainstream clinical psychology. This article initiates a special section on mental retardation and mental illness to provide up-to-date summaries of various key clinical and research issues regarding this population (i.e., individuals with "dual diagnoses").
从历史上看，人们对精神疾病和智力迟钝之间关系的认知经历了重大变化。在过去的两个世纪里，针对这两种概念的临床观察和系统研究沿着不同的方向发展。因此，智力迟钝者所经历的精神病理学、情绪障碍和行为问题的发病机制及治疗一直不属于主流临床心理学的范畴。本文开启了一个关于智力迟钝和精神疾病的特别版块，旨在提供有关这一人群（即患有“双重诊断”的个体）各种关键临床和研究问题的最新综述。
