There have been considerable developments in psychosocial interventions for people with psychosis, but few studies on their application to individuals with a dual diagnosis of intellectual disability and psychosis. This includes the use of psycho-educational groups to develop a greater understanding of the impact of psychosis. Eight individuals with a dual diagnosis of mild to borderline intellectual disabilities and psychosis took part in a psycho-education group supported by a carer. Measures of knowledge and self-esteem were completed pre- and post-group. All participants completed the programme and measures of psychosis knowledge showed increases post-group. The participants were able to understand the concept of psychosis, the need for medication, the role of stress and early signs of relapse. This approach may help participants to have a better understanding of their condition and prepare them to cope better in the future.
针对精神病患者的心理社会干预已有显著进展，但针对同时患有智力残疾和精神病的个体应用此类干预的研究却很少。这包括使用心理教育小组来加深对精神病影响的理解。八名患有轻度至边缘性智力残疾和精神病的个体在一名护理人员的支持下参加了一个心理教育小组。在小组前后分别完成了知识和自尊的测量。所有参与者都完成了该项目，并且精神病知识测量显示小组结束后有所增加。参与者能够理解精神病的概念、用药的必要性、压力的作用以及复发的早期迹象。这种方法可能有助于参与者更好地了解自己的病情，并使他们为未来更好地应对做好准备。
