Group therapy can be an effective mode of therapy, used on an inpatient unit, as it can allow patients to become allies in their journey to understand and overcome their mental health needs. The therapeutic principles discussed by Dr Irvin Yalom illustrate the significance and importance of group therapy, which was strongly incorporated into interactive behavior therapy (IBT) developed by Dr Daniel J Tomasulo. IBT is a type of group therapy, more action oriented, created to allow patients with intellectual disabilities (IDs) to better comprehend discussed topics, by designing and tailoring activities to meet their cognitive and linguistic capabilities. Additional details found in this article will illustrate the methods by which IBT is capable of meeting the needs of patients with ID. Such adjustments include shorter duration of activities to maximize concentration, proactive role-playing involving the synergistic effort of all members of the group, and limiting the authoritative role of the therapist in a group environment.

“…The group is both; a window and a mirror. We get hurt by groups, we heal by groups (Tomasulo, 2005). Group is a valuable construct and microcosm of life-our relationships, issues, strengths, and problems can be an agent to find solutions, reframe ideas, initiate change, and foster growth (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005).…”

This paper looks at the theory, research, applied aspects, and future possibilities of using strengths-based positive interventions in action, modified for people with no or low literacy with the use of the camera and video feedback. Action-based modifications of interventions, focusing on the emergence of character strengths and immediate visual feedback may bring us a step closer to offering added beneficial changes to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“…For instance, sexual abuse levels within the Intellectually Disabled (ID) population has been reported to be as high as 83 percent for females and 32 percent for males as compared to 33 and 25 percent for the general population's females and males respectively [1]. In particular when reviewing only consumer to consumer abuse, Furey and Niesen [2] found that male consumers were as likely to be abused as female consumers.…”

Abuse among persons with an Intellectual Disability is a significant problem. In contrast to the gravity of this problem, there currently exists a gap in Practitioners' ability to use a recognized and standardized approach to interview or analyze abuse cases when investigating them. This survey was an initial exploration of the practices of a sample of Downstate NY Psychologists regarding their training, supervision and processing of abuse allegations. A primary finding indicates that there isn't a consistently used, standardized method of interviewing and analyzing accounts of physical, emotional and sexual abuse from persons with an intellectual disability. Also, the psychologists indicated that they followed their supervising psychologists' guidance when interviewing and then analyzing interviews for credibility, which were not standardized across areas sampled.
