Developmentally Disabled and Psychotic Individuals
Authors note: The co-morbidity of psychosis in individuals with developmental disabilities may exacerbate the financial strain, emotional turmoil, and difficulties in adaptive functioning that these individuals experience. Given the salience of distress across domains of functioning, there exists a pressing need for more effective interventions to address this population. I am posting this protocol in the hope that it will assist treatment practitioners working with the developmentally disabled. It is an attempt to create more "physicalized" ACT metaphors for clients who think more concretely. Please understand that ACT work with this population is evolving and that this protocol is a work in progress. An small single case study using this protocol was discussed in Pankey and Hayes, 2003. (see publications list).

I also am a paid member, unable to see or access any links. I'd love to view the protocol.
you should be able to see the protocol file
Dan, I checked your account and you should see the links at the bottom of the page for the protocols when you're logged into your member account. I logged into your account and all looks well. Can you try it again and let me know if you still don't see the links to the files? They are called:

I can't seem to access this
I can't seem to access this either, and am logged in okay I think (as a member). Any ideas? I would love to have a look at it!
accessing the attachment
You should be ok rana, I looked at your account and you have full, paid membership. I made a pdf of the document and attached that as well. Perhaps that version will work better for you. Also, I recommend right clicking on the attachment and saving it to your computer before opening it. Sometimes things don't open properly in the browser.
Let me know if that didn't work for you.
Thank you,

where is the protocol?
I work with the disabilities services commission as a psychologist and would love to get a copy of it.
thanks
the protocol is posted
Cath, the protocol is posted on this page. Attachments, videos, audio, etc. are only viewable/downloadable to those with current, paid ACBS membership. That's why you can't see it here.
Thanks,
Emily
