Reviews

'I congratulate and thank all the people who have contributed to this volume. The work has come on so far since we started the Institute of Psychotherapy and Disability and yet access to disability therapy remains poor. This book will add weight to the arguments for making Disability Psychotherapy available to all who need it, and as a specific training for dedicated therapists. Well done and thank you!' Pat Frankish, founder member Institue Psychotherapy and Disability, Past President of the British Psychological Society 'The authors of this wonderful book carry on the proud tradition begun by the Founders of the Institute of Psychotherapy and Disability, inspiring hope where there is often therapeutic nihilism, and understanding where there is often denial.' Baroness Sheila Hollins, former President of the Royal College of Psychiatry 'Learning disabled people do have minds and can benefit cognitively and emotionally from a specialized form of psychotherapy. This is a wonderful and revelatory book.' Anne Alvarez
