Selected Recent Research Articles on Dual Diagnosis
Summaries of the following research articles are provided by the Dual
Diagnosis Program at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH),
Ontario, Canada. The summaries are available by clicking on the

Welcome to the first 2010 research summaries link on the NADD website.
The end of 2009 was very busy in terms of relevant and interesting
research studies. It is getting increasingly difficult for us to
select abstracts because there are so many to choose from. This year,
rather than prepare summaries of a select number of articles, we are
trying to make reference to a broader number of papers and special
issues/sections relevant to NADD members. Please give us your
feedback on whether you like the new format/structure. As always,
there are excellent papers published in the NADD research journal.
Here are some other highlights of 2009/10:
JIDR published a special mental health issue with a number of
interesting articles on... http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123208663/issue
Two journals published special issues related to families. In the
past, families papers have tended to focus on families of younger
children, and on children without dual diagnosis. The most recent
volume of JARID included several papers on dual diagnosis and
families including one paper on the experience of restraint, and
service access by minority and majority group parents. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118490119/home
JIDR also published a special issue with a focus on family resilience
in 2009. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123193742/issue
In October 2009, the Lancet published a special section on
disability. These articles are broad but are very relevant in terms
of general comments on disability and health, as well as training of
professionals to serve people with disabilities http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/issue/current?tab=past
We have attached two summaries in addition to the special issues
highlighted. One paper was published in the American Journal of
Psychiatry, focusing on the efficacy of behavioural support teams for
adults with intellectual disability and challenging behaviour. The
paper is unique in that it was a randomized control trial. The second
summary also considers challenging behaviour but from the perspective
of staff. It compared the impact of client violence on staff well
being, for staff in community and secure settings.

Intellectual
Disability and Mental Health: A Training Manual in Dual Diagnosis
Sharon McGilvery, Ph.D. and Darlene Sweetland, Ph.D.
With the release of this book, Drs. McGilvery and Sweetland share
decades of experience working with individuals diagnosed with an
intellectual disability and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Their
well-practiced approach takes into account the extremely complex
nature of working with dual-diagnosis. The authors provide
in-depth information about the diagnostic process, hands-on treatment
considerations, and their experience training thousands of people to
work passionately with these individuals. An important
contribution is their approach to addressing complicating factors in
identifying appropriate psychiatric diagnoses, as well as the problem
of the underreporting of psychiatric symptoms and disorders. Finally,
those working in a variety of contexts with these individuals will
benefit from the innovative approaches of looking at treatment and
intervention strategies that can be immediately implemented. 264 pages

Psychotherapy for Individuals with Intellectual Disability
Edited by: Robert J. Fletcher, DSW, ACSW
This book provides the reader with insightful and useful ways to
provide psychotherapy treatment for individuals who have intellectual
disability (ID). It brings together all three modalities
(individual, couple, and group), and a variety of theoretical models
and techniques are discussed. The first section, Individual
Therapy, offers a variety of approaches and techniques including
dialectical behavioral therapy, positive psychology,
mindfulness-based practice, and relaxation training. Also included in
this section are chapters on specialty populations including victims
of abuse, people who have Autism Spectrum Disorder, and people in
mourning. The second section is a chapter on group therapy addressing
trauma issues. The third section is on family and couple therapy. The
fourth section covers chapters on research, ethics, and
training. The individual authors are respected authorities in
the field of providing psychotherapy treatment for persons with ID
and all have contributed to the professional literature.
This book is a major contribution to the effort to make psychotherapy
available to individuals who have ID and should serve to further
stimulate interest in the provision of psychotherapy treatment for
individuals who have ID co-occurring with significant mental health problems.

Human Needs and Intellectual Disabilities: Applications for Person
Centered Planning, Dual Diagnosis, and Crisis Intervention
Steven Reiss, Ph.D.
Human Needs and Intellectual Disabilities identifies the 12 human
needs most relevant to the lives of people with intellectual
disabilities, autism and related developmental disabilities. It
includes detailed, practical suggestions for caregivers or parents
interested in the happiness, quality of life, and self-determintion
of their loved ones or consumers. The book includes detailed,
practical suggestions for reducing episodes of challenging behavior
and psychiatric symptoms in people with a dual diagnosis
(intellectual disabilities and mental illness). It shows how to
substitute the language of individuality (e.g., "friendly
person") for the language of disability (e.g., "person with
disability"). It also reduces the tendency of planners to
confuse their own value system for that of the consumer. The
book includes scholarly reviews of dual diagnosis literature on
mental illness, prevalence, and assessment.

Positive Identity Development
Author: Karyn Harvey, PhD
Positive Identity Development is an exciting new approach to
treatment for individuals with intellectual disabilities. This
book provides a new theoretical perspective on treatment along with a
variety of innovative tools. It rejects reducing adults with
intellectual disabilities to a mere compilation of their behaviors
and promotes the use of a positive, therapeutic approach to each
unique individual. Psychologists, social workers and therapists
should be able to use the tools presented in this book to directly
enhance the effectiveness of the treatment they provide to adults
with intellectual disabilities. This book promotes well-being on
every level and explores a broad range of issues relevant to the life
and mental health of adults with intellectual disabilities
