'Finding the person you really are … on the inside': Compassion focused therapy for adults with intellectual disabilities.

This study utilized a mixed methods approach to examine the feasibility and acceptability of group compassion focused therapy for adults with intellectual disabilities (CFT-ID). Six participants with mild ID participated in six sessions of group CFT, specifically adapted for adults with ID. Session-by-session feasibility and acceptability measures suggested that participants understood the group content and process and experienced group sessions and experiential practices as helpful and enjoyable.

Could participant-produced photography augment therapeutic interventions for people with intellectual disabilities? A systematic review of the available evidence.

Background: People with intellectual disabilities are entitled to equitable access to psychological support. Traditional therapeutic approaches often rely on a person's ability to verbally articulate a description of their life, which can be particularly difficult for emotionally salient information.

Methods: A systematic literature review was undertaken to determine the evidence base underpinning the use of participant-produced photography within therapeutic settings.
