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. |

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
