Psychotherapy can also be beneficial for individuals with intellectual disabilities. They often suffer from psychological issues, often as a result of their limitations. This is particularly true for individuals with severe intellectual disabilities. However, these individuals typically have very limited or no ability to express themselves verbally. This necessitates different approaches and methods to facilitate communication between the therapist and the patient. Verena Vogel describes the specific considerations in working with individuals with intellectual disabilities in psychotherapeutic treatment and identifies existing therapy concepts within the four main schools: Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Systemic Therapy. Additionally, there is a focus on pharmacological treatment with psychotropic medications and the current inpatient and outpatient care for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
