Psychological interventions in adults with intellectual disabilities and comorbid personality limit disorder
Abstract
Objective: an accurate diagnosis of psychopathological disorders allows us to respond more effectively with the application of specific treatments, taking into account the individual features of intellectual disability and the psychopathological profile of the patient. The aim of this review is to describe the types of interventions developed to adults with intellectual disabilities and comorbid personality limit disorder. Method: in the review of the literature, 24 articles have been identified, 11 refer to the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in individuals with intellectual disabilities and the implications involved, and 13 to psychological interventions in the field of intellectual disability and comorbid personality limit disorder. The databases used are WOS (Web of Science), SCOPUS, CINALH, PsycINFO, LILACS and the Cochrane library. Results: the psychotherapeutic approach in population with intellectual disabilities is controversial and the evidence on psychological therapies is limited. Regarding the interventions used, the one that provides favorable results for the reduction of the symptomatology is the dialectic behavioral therapy.References
