By: Arthur, Andrew R.
Series: British Journal of Learning Disabilities 27 (3) Autumn 1999: 93-98.Publisher: 1999Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): ASSESSMENT | EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT | EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS | INSTITUTIONALISATION | INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY | SERVICE DELIVERY MODELS | STAFF TRAININGSummary: The emontional developmental and emontional difficulties of people with learning disabilities is a much-neglected area of service provision. Attempts to understand and treat the emontional-developmental needs and problems of this population are reviewed. Whilst there is some evidence that pyschotherapeutic methods have been successfully applied, it is unlikely there will ever be enough psychotherapists to provide adequate individual treatment. This article proposes one response to the problem by demonstrating how the process of consultation can enable care-staff to develop an understanding response to this area of their clients lives. A model of consultation (process consultation) that is relevant to the development of care-staff's theraputic skills is described. [AJ].
