Review
This excellent, comprehensive, practical and well-written book explains the theory and practice of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and how it might be used with people with a learning disability.
The book and CD-ROM are packed with accessible resources, with printable photo symbol images. It details everything a therapist would need to offer CBT to people with a learning disability.
It looks at barriers to delivering therapy to people with cognitive impairment, with useful suggestions on how to overcome or minimise problems. The carer’s guides, information sheets and worksheets are invaluable.
There are chapters on the background to CBT, communication, 18 session plans, psychoeducation, linking thoughts, feelings and behaviours, techniques and skills building.
This is a key resource for trained CBT therapists to offer effective therapy to people with a learning disability.
Reviewer: Simon Jones
