Abstract:
Certain adaptations are essential that take account of the constraints entailed by intellectual disability. Central to these are the constraints that make understanding links between emotion, cognition and behavior. It will consider how aspects of the therapeutic process can be adapted to make cognitive behavior therapy accessible and meaningful for people with intellectual disability. Grounding the therapeutic process in the real lives of people with intellectual disability links the cognitive model and the clients' own experience.
