Book Synopsis

Based on traditional models of group therapy and psychodrama, interactive-behavioral therapy (IBT) aims to enhance the possibility for change in people with intellectual disabilities. This resource for clinicians describes the IBT group treatment mod el along with a related model of individual treatment. Particular attention has been paid to the application of IBT in group treatment for both sexual abuse survivors and offenders, and information is offered on the model's use in sexual abuse avoidance training.
