%X This article, the first of two parts, examines the need for learning disability nurses to explicate the specific behaviours which are often grouped under the umbrella term 'challenging/problematic behaviours'. The prevalence of such behaviours in people who have learning disabilities is discussed. In addition, a review of the main theories of causation of problematic behaviour is presented, with a particular emphasis on the issues of violence and aggression in clients. The second article will offer suggestions on interpreting challenging behaviours in people who have learning disabilities.<p /><p>Language: en</p>
