Description
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for People with Intellectual Disabilities Thinking Creatively explores how others impact the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities and its effects on their psychological well-being. Based on clinical experiences using cognitive behavioural therapy, this book presents a social interactionist stance and introduces novel approaches to adapting CBT methods for one-to-one therapy and group interventions. The authors share their own experiences and case studies to address the challenges of adapting CBT to meet the needs of clients with intellectual disabilities. They offer practical solutions to these challenges, making this book an essential resource for scholars of psychology and mental health, as well as therapists and clinicians in the field. This book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding and treatment of psychological well-being in individuals with intellectual disabilities, offering innovative and effective approaches to therapy.
