“…Only one Cochrane review was identified in this section and this looked at behavioural and cognitivebehavioural interventions for aggression (Hassiotis & Hall 2009). Eight reviews considered psychological interventions for people with intellectual disability: any psychological interventions for challenging behaviour (Campbell et al 2014); psychologically based anger management for adults living in the community (Borsay 2013); mindfulness training for people with intellectual disability or family/paid carers (Chapman et al 2013); anger management in adults (Hamelin et al 2013); mindfulness for behavioural problems (Harper et al 2013); mindfulness for behavioural or psychological problems (Hwang & Kearney 2013); cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anger (Nicoll et al 2013); and any psychological therapies (Vereenooghe & Langdon 2013).…”

“…A recent meta-analysis concluded that cognitive behavioural therapy was at least moderately effective for the treatment of anger regulation problems and depression (Vereenooghe and Langdon, 2013), and previous reviews have also supported the potential benefits of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for anger management (Hamelin, Travis and Sturmey, 2013;Nicoll, Beail and Saxon, 2013). However, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that psychological treatments for mental health problems amongst people with IDs are empirically validated (Vereenooghe & Langdon, 2013).…”

Aims:The aim was to examine whether specific skills required for cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) could be taught using a computerised training paradigm with people who have intellectual disabilities (IDs). Training aimed to improve: a) ability to link pairs of situations and mediating beliefs to emotions, and b) ability to link pairs of situations and emotions to mediating beliefs.Method: Using a single-blind mixed experimental design, sixty-five participants with IDs were randomised to receive either computerised training or an attention-control condition.Cognitive mediation skills were assessed before and after training. Results:Participants who received training were significantly better at selecting appropriate emotions within situation-beliefs pairs, controlling for baseline scores and IQ. Despite significant improvements in the ability of those who received training to correctly select intermediating beliefs for situation-feelings pairings, no between-group differences were observed at post-test. Conclusions:The findings indicated that computerised training led to a significant improvement in some aspects of cognitive mediation for people with IDs, but whether this has a positive effect upon outcome from therapy is yet to be established. Prevalence rates of mental health problems among people with intellectual disabilities (IDs) vary widely depending on the diagnostic criteria and assessments used, with recent estimates suggesting that between thirteen and forty percent of people with IDs are affected (Cooper, Smiley, Morrison, Williamson, & Allan, 2007;Deb, Thomas, & Bright, 2001;Emerson & Hatton, 2007). The high prevalence rates, when compared to the general population, can be partly explained by the genetic vulnerability of people with IDs, and disadvantageous life events such as stigmatisation and isolation (Clarke, 2003;Cooper et al., 2007;Emerson & Hatton, 2007;Hulbert-Williams & Hastings, 2008;Reiss & Benson, 1984).Even though people with IDs have an elevated risk of developing mental health problems, the evidence regarding the efficacy of psychological therapies for this population has only been emerging slowly. A recent meta-analysis concluded that cognitive behavioural therapy was at least moderately effective for the treatment of anger regulation problems and depression (Vereenooghe and Langdon, 2013), and previous reviews have also supported the potential benefits of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for anger management (Hamelin, Travis and Sturmey, 2013;Nicoll, Beail and Saxon, 2013). However, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that psychological treatments for mental health problems amongst people with IDs are empirically validated (Vereenooghe & Langdon, 2013). One of the reasons for this is that people with IDs are thought to have difficulty grasping some of the concepts presented within CBT (Biza Stenfert-Kroese, Dagnan, & Loumidis, 1997), and while suitability criteria for CBT have been described in terms of the potential to form a therapeutic alliance, motivation ...
