Intellectual disabilities have long been a concern for both
practitioners and academics alike. With the introduction and
advocacy of concepts to the public in recent decades, and the
normalization and valorization of intellectual disabilities,
humanistic concern has become the dominant trend in providing
interventions and services for people with these issues.Today,
various ideas for societal inclusion of those with intellectual
disabilities have been introduced. However, many practitioners and
academics have criticized these ideas as idealistic, and in many
ways, inapplicable for actual social inclusion of people with
intellectual disabilities.The situation is particularly serious
regarding those intellectually disabled individuals presenting
various forms of self-harm, aggression, disturbing behaviors, and
emotional fluctuation (SADE: S =Self harm, A = Aggression, D =
Disturbing behaviors, E = Emotional fluctuation). In many
instances, social exclusion, labelling, punishments, deprivation of
rights, physical restraints, as well as psychiatric medications are
commonly used in controlling intellectual disabled clients with
SADE.A thorough understanding of intellectually disabled clients
has revealed that their self-harm, aggression, disturbing
behaviors, and emotional fluctuations (SADE) are closely related to
their unfulfilled needs, developmental traumas, abuse, neglect, and
abandonment in their lives. These individuals have problems in
expressing their views and emotions, as well as having severe
attachment needs.Based on the writers substantial experience,
clinical practice, and supervision in working with intellectual
disabled clients with SADE, this book is the first to formulate and
consolidate the communication, emotionality, intimacy, and trauma
based interpretation and intervention for intellectually disabled
clients with SADE. This book provides methods for effective,
humanistic, normalized, and integrated recovery of these
individuals.
