Publisher Description: Healing Trauma: The Power of Group Treatment for People With Intellectual Disabilities is a compassionate, informative guide to group therapy for an often-neglected population. People with intellectual disabilities suffer higher than average rates of trauma, sexual abuse, and psychopathology, but many formidable obstacles have impeded accurate diagnoses and treatments for members of this population. Razza and Tomasulo maintain that the need for psychotherapy for people with both intellectual and psychiatric disorders can no longer be ignored, and devote this volume to building a clear foundation for determining treatments of choice for patients with intellectual disabilities. Choosing group treatment as the most effective intervention, the authors describe interactive-behavioral therapy (IBT), based heavily on traditional models of group therapy and psychodrama, and modified to enhance the possibility for change in people with intellectual disabilities. In IBT, member-to-member interactions are regarded as a priority for learning, as the group therapy format allows for a controlled connection with others in which each individual's style of interrelating can be examined and altered.
