“…IDs as being biased due to confounding with behavioural interventions that frequently constitute treatment packages (Sturmey, 2004(Sturmey, , 2005. Beail (2005) argued that contrasting the efficacy of behavioural and cognitive-behavioural interventions would be problematic because they have been evaluated with different groups of people with IDs.…”

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of psychological therapies for people with intellectual disabilities (IDs) through a systematic review and metaanalysis of the current literature. METHOD: A comprehensive literature search identified 143 intervention studies. Twenty-two trials were eligible for review, and 14 of these were subsequently included in the meta-analysis. RESULTS: Many studies did not include adequate information about their participants, especially the nature of their IDs; information about masked assessment, and therapy fidelity was also lacking. The meta-analysis yielded an overall moderate between-group effect size, g = .682, while group-based interventions had a moderate but smaller treatment effect than individual-based interventions. Cognitivebehaviour therapy (CBT) was efficacious for both anger and depression, while interventions aimed at improving interpersonal functioning were not effectual. When CBT was excluded, there was insufficient evidence regarding the efficacy of other psychological therapies, or psychological therapies intended to treat mental health problems in children and young people with IDs. CONCLUSIONS: Adults with IDs and concurrent mental health problems appear to benefit from psychological therapies. However, clinical trials need to make use of improved reporting standards and larger samples.

“…Band, & Weisz, 1988;Compas, Banez, Malcarne, & Worsham, 1991;Compas et al, 1988). Metacognitive skills such as flexible, abstract thinking and focused attention are difficult for adults with mild ID (e.g., Baroff & Olley, 1999;Sturmey, 2004). Therefore, it is likely that adults with mild ID also generate more Problem-Focused coping strategies than Emotion-Focused coping strategies.…”

Adults with mild intellectual disability (ID) experience stressful social interactions and often utilize maladaptive coping strategies to manage these interactions. We investigated the specific types of Active and Avoidant coping strategies reported by 114 adults with mild ID to deal with stressful social interactions. Open-ended responses to a sentence stem task were coded into five dimensions of Active and Avoidant coping. Adults with mild ID used Problem-Focused coping most frequently and this strategy was negatively correlated with psychological distress. Emotion-Focused coping was used infrequently but was also negatively related to psychological distress. Coping accounted for a significant portion of variance in psychological distress after controlling for perceptions of stressful social interactions. Findings have important implications for informing the development of interventions to enhance the ability of adults with mild ID to cope with stressful social interactions.

“…Much of the research on cognitive behavioral therapy in ID has come from forensic secure units and has shown it to be effective for conditions such as Depression, Anxiety, anger management and sex offending [70]. No syndrome-specific psychological treatment is still available and this is likely to be an important psychological intervention that needs further investigation.…”

The occurrence and co-occurrence of psychiatric disorders have been more frequently reported in people with Intellectual Disability (ID) than in the general population. The present study was aimed at verifying whether the psychiatric profile of individuals with ID is just a consequence of ID or derives from a specific genotype. The psychiatric profile of 112 individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and 85 with Williams syndrome (WS) was examined. The interactions between psychiatric symptom clusters and the effect of age were also investigated.Participants with WS had higher rates of psychiatric disorders, and, specifically, of Anxiety disorders and Psychosis than DS. However, the psychiatric profile changed by age, since Anxiety disorder was higher in individuals with WS compared to DS in young age, while Psychosis in old age. A relation between the occurrence of disorders, as Anxiety disorder and Mood Disorder, was found only in participants with WS. Moreover, distinct Anxiety and Behavior Disorder subtypes emerged between groups.Results indicate that the genetic etiology of ID differently affects the psychiatric characteristics of the groups and suggest the importance of a targeted psychiatric care for individuals with WS and DS.
