abstract="PURPOSE. Persons with developmental disabilities are frequently exposed to interpersonal violence and crime, directed at themselves and others, and are in need of specific interventions tailored to their unique needs. CONCLUSIONS. What may be different in comparison to other survivors are the ways therapeutic interventions are adapted so that fears and ongoing concerns can be effectively expressed and addressed. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Persons with developmental disabilities may benefit from a variety of interventions in the treatment of intrapsychic trauma after exposure to interpersonal violence and crime.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
