What Works for People With Mental Retardation? Critical Commentary on Cognitive–Behavioral and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Research

Nigel Beail
2003 Mental Retardation  
In What Works for Whom, Roth and Fonagy (1996) provided a critical review of the evidence base for psychotherapy. The key findings are that there is good evidence for the efficacy of psychotherapies, but there was more evidence for cognitive-behavioral than for psychodynamic psychotherapy. References to research with people who have mental retardation, however, were notably absent from the review.
