Back cover copy

This edited volume brings together leading proponents of psychological therapies for people with intellectual disabilities. The chapters provide key information and guidance on the nature and prevalence of psychological and mental health problems, delivery of treatment, the effectiveness of treatment, and the relationship of mental health and emotional problems to social deprivation and general health issues in this population. Contributions cover the preparation of clients for therapy, adjusting the methods of treatment to suit the client group, and working with families and carers to broaden interventions beyond the therapeutic dyad. In addition, chapters encompass interventions for a number of key psychological and emotional problems including anxiety disorders, depression, psychosis, anger, sexual deviance, and autistic spectrum disorders. While there is an emphasis on cognitive behavioural therapies, other approaches including mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy and behavioural intervention are also discussed. Each section contains case examples to illustrate and guide the assessment and treatment processes. This book is valuable for all psychological therapists, health professionals, clinical and social care staff dealing with the difficulties experienced by people with intellectual disabilities, as well as researchers and students interested in developing their knowledge and skills in this area. It is also useful for others who have day–to-day involvement with clients with intellectual disabilities and their families.

Unpublished endorsement

"This book is authored by four professors who are the leading clinical researchers in the field of intellectual disabilities. Their collective expertise and experience are extremely impressive. This book will undoubtedly make an important contribution to the understanding and treatment of the range of difficulties encountered in this population." —Roz Shafran, Professor of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, Reading University "The editors have brought together an impressive, international group of contributors to present psychological therapies for people with intellectual disabilities. The volume is rich in clinical examples which are extremely valuable in illustrating the therapeutic techniques in action." —Betsey Benson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Psychology, Nisonger Center UCEDD, Ohio State University "Without doubt, Psychological Therapies for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities is the best book available at present on this topic. The editors and contributors are all leading experts in their field, which has resulted in a book that should be standard for practitioners, researchers and students working with people with intellectual disabilities and mental health problems." —Prof. Dr. Robert Didden, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands "The book gives a thorough account of the current state of science in psychological therapies for people with learning disabilities and outlines a plausible way forward for clinicians and researchers to develop a stronger evidence base for such interventions. The chapters on lesser known interventions, e.g. mindfulness were very useful and informative. The authors are all well-known experts and have presented the material persuasively and with clarity." —Angela Hassiotis, Reader in Psychiatry of Intellectual Disabilities, Mental Health Sciences Unit, Faculty of Brain Sciences, University College London
