“…; Allen et al . ; Luiselli ; Sturmey ). Due to several ethical issues (RIs conflict with certain values and ethical standards), lawfulness issues (RIs are only rendered lawful under specific conditions) and effectiveness issues (RIs can provoke additional CB, RIs can maintain CB when they function as reinforcement) issues, their use is controversial (Harris ; Luiselli ).…”

“…Consequently, several recent papers call for safely reducing RIs among persons with intellectual disabilities (e.g. Deveau & McDonnell ; Luiselli ; Sturmey ; Williams ; Williams & Grossett ). However, because these interventions are still often used in the management of CB among persons with intellectual disabilities (e.g.…”

“…[5][6][7] Common risk factors are externalizing behaviour disorders, such as aggression and SIB, rather than psychiatric diagnoses. 8 Additionally, people with DDs are commonly subjected to a wide range of restrictive behaviour management practices in community and institutional settings, such as restraint, 9,10 preventable disability, and increased cost of care.…”

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.

“…Questions are being raised with respect to the clinical efficacy and ethical appropriateness of such interventions (Allen, 2009;McVilly, 2009;Sturmey, 2009). In Victoria, Australia, the Senior Practitioner was established in 2007 by the Disability Act (2006) to protect the rights of people with a disability who are subjected to restrictive interventions or compulsory treatments, and who are in receipt of a disability service funded by the Department of Human Services' Disability Service.…”
