This training programme will empower people with mild intellectual disabilities to develop the skills they need to manage emotional distress and/or impulsive behaviour. Based on dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), this manual will help individuals to recognise their emotions, increase their self-awareness, self-soothe, and reduce unwanted, impulsive behaviours. As the training is based on DBT, it can be particularly helpful for those with personality disorders. Mindfulness techniques are a core component in the programme and are drawn on throughout the course. Each session includes an activity and task so individuals can put their new skills into practice. The accompanying CD-rom includes the learner handouts and facilitator resources for the mindfulness activities, games and ice breakers. Vital information for: Learning disability nurses, clinical and forensic psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists.
Bridget Ingamells is an advanced healthcare practitioner with the National High Secure Learning Disability Service, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. She is a qualified learning disability nurse, and since 2004 has had a special interest in adapting DBT for clients with intellectual disabilities. Catrin Morrissey is lead psychologist with the National High Secure Learning Disability Service, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. She has research interests and publications in the field of personality disorder and intellectual disabilities. Her clinical interests are in developing evidence-based interventions for this population.
