Healing Trauma: The Power of Group Treatment for People With
Intellectual Disabilities
|
 |
Authors: Nancy J. Razza and Daniel I. Tornasulo
Description:
Healing Trauma: The Power of Group Treatment for People With
Intellectual Disabilities is a compassionate, informative guide to
group therapy for an often neglected population. People with
intellectual disabilities suffer higher than average rates of trauma,
sexual abuse, and psychopathology, but many formidable obstacles have
impeded accurate diagnoses and treatments for members of this population.
Choosing group treatment as the most effective intervention, the
authors describe interactive—behavioral therapy (JBT), based
heavily on traditional models of group therapy and psychodrama and
modified to enhance the possibility for change in people with
intellectual disabilities. In IBT, member-to-member interactions are
regarded as a priority for learning, as the group therapy format
allows for a controlled connection with others in which each
individual’s style of interrelating can be examined and altered.
The special considerations and needs of group treatment for trauma
and sexual abuse survivors and offenders with intellectual
disabilities arc covered in equal measure, and information is offered
about how the application of the IBT model can be used in sexual
abuse avoidance training. A related model of individual treatment is
detailed along with ways in which the clinician can make informed
decisions concerning the most effective course of treatment for a
given individual outside of group treatment.
In heartfelt and instructive language, the authors make an effective
case for the powerful gains that can be attained by psychotherapy for
people with intellectual disabilities. This book will be an
invaluable resource for clinicians and other helping professionals
who work with them. |
