“…The use of cognitive techniques as part of this treatment was judged to be ineffective and it is reported that role‐play was the most useful technique used with this group. In another study, King et al (1999) used a similar group treatment package and research design with 11 adults with mild ID residing in community facilities who had been referred because of their anger control problems. Pre‐post treatment outcome measures showed significant treatment gains on a self‐report anger and self‐esteem inventories and these gains were maintained at 12‐week follow‐up.…”

Rates of aggression amongst people with intellectual disability (ID) have been found to be high in studies conducted on several continents across a number of service settings. Aggression is the primary reason for people with ID to be admitted or re-admitted to institutional settings, and it is also the main reason for individuals in this client group to be prescribed behaviour-control drugs. Anger is a significant activator of aggression, but little is known about the emotional aspects of the lives of people with ID. There are many reasons for this, but a lack of reliable and validated assessment measures is chief among them. The present review found that very little work has been conducted to date concerning the development of robust tools for assessing anger and aggression in this population. A narrative review of interventions for reducing aggression and anger in people with ID showed that there is virtually no evidence to support the use of psychotropic medications. Research has shown that behavioural interventions can be effective; however, they are intrusive and have not been tested in naturalistic settings with higher-functioning clients and low-frequency aggression. More recently, cognitive-behavioural interventions have shown promise, but the mechanisms for effective change have yet to be delineated. Priority research questions relating to assessment, treatment and therapeutic skills in working with anger and aggression problems are offered by the present review.

“…Included in Table 1 are studies in which inferential statistics have been used to determine the significance of changes observed in dependent variables. These studies are described as quasi‐experimental, however, because they have failed to include a control or no‐treatment group (e.g., Albini & Dinitz, 1965; Beail, 1998; Beail & Warden, 1996; Beail, Warden, Morsley, & Newman, 2005; King, Lancaster, Wynne, Nettleton, & Davis 1999).…”

“…CBT As recently as 1990, it was claimed that there was no research utilizing CBT for people with an intellectual disability (Benson, 1990). Since then, there have been several case studies documenting positive outcomes (e.g., Black & Novaco, 1993; Lindsay et al., 1998) while group studies have had a particular focus on the effect of CBT on anger management in groups (Hagiliassis et al., 2005b; King et al., 1999; Rose, 1996; Taylor et al., 2002; Willner et al., 2002) (see Table 1).…”

This paper addresses the issues of assessment and psychological interventions of mental health in people with complex communication needs of people with intellectual disability and/or cerebral palsy. The literature indicates that research data have been lacking in this area, with a dearth of appropriate assessment tools and information on how to adapt evidence‐based psychological interventions for this group. Existing psychological intervention research has been characterized by case studies and quasi‐experimental designs with adults with mild intellectual disability who possess relatively good communication skills. In addition, there have been a few experimental studies with a focus on anger management with this group. In light of the lack of an empiric base, clinical practice for people with complex communication needs must draw on the evidence base for the general population, and adaptations of key elements of psychological therapies. Given the paucity of research addressing the mental health issues of people with complex communication needs, there is a need for the development of mental health assessment tools that enable clinicians to directly obtain information from the individual and for building the evidence base for counseling people with complex communication needs.
