This book details how to use Intensive Interaction as a psychologically informed practice when working with ‘seldom-heard’ clients.

Although Intensive Interaction was originally developed for children with severe and profound learning disability, its use has expanded across age ranges and conditions and is now utilised with children and adults including autistic individuals and people with dementia. Exploring the context in which Intensive Interaction has and can be used, specifically as a psychological approach, this edited volume covers therapeutic intervention on a one-to-one basis, as well as an intervention within other frameworks such as Trauma Informed Care and Positive Behaviour Support. Case examples are utilised throughout, alongside psychological theory, to demonstrate use in practice. Consideration is also paid to service contexts and how psychologists can introduce this approach in their local areas.

The first book on Intensive Interaction written by psychologists for psychological practitioners, this book will appeal to trainee and qualified clinical and counselling psychologists and psychological practitioners including creative therapists and counsellors.

Recenzijos

'This book will be helpful to so many families and staff supporting daily on the ground. The book promotes humanity, the importance of the connections we make with each other, the ability to understand, read the non-verbal cues and help enable the person you are supporting to have a really positive moments, increasing opportunity to build the supports for the best life possible for them.'

Frances Steepe, Parent and advocate for using Intensive Interaction, Oxford, UK.

'Intensive Interaction is one of the most intriguing avenues of therapy for connecting with people seen as otherwise unreachable. The book offers a valuable - and I suspect, heartwarming - collection of papers showing the diversity of experience and practice using this method. Its importance lies also in attempts to frame it theoretically within Psychology, a connection which is valuable for practitioners and non-practitioners alike.'

Vasudevi Reddy, Emeritus Professor, Developmental and Cultural Psychology Centre for Interaction, Development and Diversity, University of Portsmouth, UK
