“…No formal systematic review or meta-analysis of behavioural treatment of psychotic behaviour was identified for this review; however, Travis and Sturmey 48 conducted a review of behavioural interventions for psychotic verbal behaviour in people with DDs and identified 3 small N experiments that used nonfunction-based DR, 8 experiments using function-based interventions, and 2 experiments combining behavioural and pharmacological interventions. Subsequently, 1 study demonstrated 4-year maintenance of intervention effects.…”

Objective: To review the psychosocial, pharmacological, and other treatments of psychopathology in people with intellectual disabilities (IDs), autism, and other developmental disabilities (DDs).Method: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of psychosocial, pharmacological, and other treatments for people with DDs are reviewed. Results:There is strong evidence for applied behaviour analysis (ABA) and other behavioural treatments of some forms of psychopathology. There is little good evidence to support the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy, cognitive therapy, sensory interventions, and other forms of psychosocial interventions. Recently, more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of psychopharmacology have been published, especially with people with autism spectrum disorders. Most RCTs were for externalizing behaviour problems, rather than for psychopathology. These RCTs offer only preliminary support for the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy. No evidence was found for the effectiveness of other biological treatments. Conclusions:Current research supports the use of ABA and other behavioural interventions for some forms of psychopathology. Evidence for the effectiveness of other interventions is limited or absent.

“…Behavior analysts have demonstrated that environmental consequences may control delusional verbal behavior (Wilder & Wong, 2007). Travis and Sturmey (2008) reviewed several interventions for delusional statements in people with intellectual disabilities and found that many demonstrated that the behavior is sensitive to environmental consequences such as attention (Carr & Britton, 1999; Dixon, Benedict, & Larson, 2001; Rehfeldt & Chambers, 2003) or escape from task demands (Durand & Crimmins, 1987). There are no studies, however, on the effectiveness of a functional analysis and treatment of the delusional statements of an individual with dual diagnoses and traumatic brain damage, and no studies have reported long‐term treatment effects.…”

Although delusional statements in people with intellectual disabilities and traumatic brain injury can be treated using behavioral interventions, none have demonstrated long-term treatment effects. In the current study, a functional analysis demonstrated that delusional statements were maintained by attention. Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior and extinction of delusional statements resulted in near elimination of delusional statements and an increase in nondelusional statements. Follow-up at 6 months, 1, 2, and 4 years indicated that treatment gains were maintained with continued staff training.
