Hi Gave a talk in Sweden (See that identity work there!) last year about systemic therapy & practice and people with Intellectual Disabilities. Seemed that this was not really employed in habilitation (generic disability services inc. ID) - mostly CBT and psychodynamic - the response was very positive however amongst clinical psychologists working in habilitation and it seemed to me to have a closer fit with what they were already doing in their community work than CBT's fixing of irrational disabled people.

It’s particularly interesting how the model has begun to break down. http://www.scottdmiller.com/?q=node%2F160 John McGowan ___________________________________There is a twitter feed: http://twitter.com/CommPsychUK (to post contact Grant [log in to unmask] unsubscribe or to change your details on this COMMUNITYPSYCHUK list, visit the website:http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=COMMUNITYPSYCHUK ___________________________________ There is a twitter feed: http://twitter.com/CommPsychUK (to post contact Grant [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe or to change your details on this COMMUNITYPSYCHUK list, visit the website: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=COMMUNITYPSYCHUK
