Counselling People with Developmental Disabilities Who Have Been Sexually Abused Author: Sheila Mansell & Dick Sobsey Description: Conceived and developed because of the growing body of research that demonstrates that people with developmental disabilities are at greater risk for sexual abuse and that appropriately adapted therapy services for people with developmental disabilities who have been sexually abused are rarely available. Training materials consist of two parts: (1) this book and (2) Alone in a Crowd, an introductory videotape for counselors of people with developmental disabilities who have been sexually abused. These materials may be used independently or in combination. The video tape is intended to introduce some of the basic issues and approaches to counseling people with developmental disabilities who have been abused.
