Psychotherapeutic interventions in learning disability: focus on cognitive behavioural therapy and mental health
Psychiatry, 10/06/09

Willner P – Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) assumes that psychological disorders are characterized by distorted or dysfunctional thinking, and can be treated by working with the patient to modify thinking in the direction of more realistic or adaptive evaluations of events. CBT has been evaluated extensively and is now the first–line treatment of choice for many psychological disorders. It is increasingly being used with people with learning disabilities, although the evidence base with this population is relatively weak, consisting largely of case studies and case series.
