Developmentally Disabled and Psychotic Individuals
March 15, 2006 - 4:02pm — Julieann Pankey
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).

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
