Psychological Therapies and People Who Have Intellectual Disabilities
Information on available services, interventions and likely outcomes for people who have intellectual disabilities.
17 February 2016
The purpose of this report on psychological therapies and people who have intellectual disabilities (ID) is to inform professionals, managers, commissioners, carers and service users as to what is available, what intervention may best help with, and what the likely outcomes are. The report covers what are now seen as more traditional approaches but also models that are developments of those approaches, and what have come to be called the new wave approaches.
This report was a collaboration between the Executive Committees of the Faculties for People who have Intellectual Disabilities of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and the Division of Clinical Psychology of the British Psychological Society.
