Summary

Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy for People with Learning Disabilitiesmarks an important new development in the care of people with learning disabilities by showing how these interventions can be applied to this much neglected client group. The book contains contributions from well known and highly experienced practitioner researchers who offer an informed approach to cognitively based treatments for a wide range of clinical problems. Since cognitive therapy is usually understood to be language based, the communication difficulties associated with this population make cognitive-behavior therapy for people with learning disabilities a challenging and fascinating topic.Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for People with Learning Disabilitiesprovides a wealth of practical examples for training and will be invaluable to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and all researchers and practitioners who work with people with learning disabilities.
