Some of this relates to experiences of being restrained or separated from people they know, and some to early traumatic events, such as abandonment or neglect. Historically, most of the consequential emotional difficulties have been labelled as an effect of the disability or more recently, as challenging behaviour. For years psychotherapy has been denied to people with intellectual disabilities who have experienced trauma, on the grounds that they could not benefit from it. While this has proved not to be the case and attempts are being made to redress the balance, individual psychotherapy will always be in short supply. \u003ci\u003eTrauma-informed care in Intellectual Disability\u003c\/i\u003e will enable support staff to work therapeutically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProfessional Resource for Support Staff\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guide provides practical approaches for care workers, educators, and support professionals working with individuals who have intellectual disabilities and trauma histories. The book addresses the gap in therapeutic resources by equipping support staff with trauma-informed strategies that can be applied in daily care settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEvidence-Based Approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on clinical psychology research and therapeutic practice, this resource examines how early traumatic events, abandonment, neglect, and experiences of restraint or separation impact emotional development in people with intellectual disabilities. The book challenges historical misconceptions that individuals with intellectual disabilities cannot benefit from psychotherapeutic approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Pat Frankish\u003c\/b\u003e obtained B.Sc (Hons) in Psychology and B.A (Open) in Humanities and Psychology before undertaking training in teaching children with severe learning difficulties and then a masters in Clinical Psychology.
