På tide å bli enda bedre
Therapy can be conducted in many ways
KAOS in a nutshell cognitiv behavioral therapy skillstraining risk-analysis and risk-planning in a groupsetting with alternativ modalities Milleu-therapists helps both in the
groupsessions and with the home assignments and as liaisons to both the institution and the
participants parents/siblings/workplace
11
Target population
• Persons with ID convicted to mandatory care
• Persons with ID convicted to prison
• Persons with ID in custody
12
Patient characteristics
• Mild to moderate mental retardation• Comorbid psychiatric diagnosis, such as
psychosis, autism, depression, anxiety and sexual disorders
• A history of severe violence/sexual violence/child molestation or arson
• A history of avoiding or not completing therapy
13
Principle-based, not manualized
• Ecological understanding and focus
• Principles from evidence-based treatment for similar disorders
• Empowerment
• Psychoeducation
• “Choosing from the meny”
• “Anticipation of failure”
14
Principles from evidence-based treatment
• There are no evidence-based treatment for patients with ID, severe violence, and comorbid severe psychiatric disorders
• But KAOS applies principles from treatment of other patientgroups with severe problems
• and treatment of patient with ID in general
15
Ecology
• KAOS understands that effective and
lasting change depends on transaction with
the environment
• treatment got to have the "real word" in
focus
“Fishbowl-therapy”
Empowerment
Participation in KAOS is voluntary Participants can choose themes, but
persuasion is used Participants can choose "helpers" Trainers and helpers adjust KAOS to the
participants needs and learningstyles

Workbooks
”Choosing from the meny”
• The participants chooses which of the themes they want to work with from the manual
• The first ones should be rather simple, the last ones must relate to their indexcrime(s)
• The participants make their own group-rules; reinforcers included
Anticipation of failure; systems
Anticipation of failure; systems
Clinical psychology has a long tradition of “hyping” new therapies and techniques
It is a challenge to apply therapy in a way that doesnt depend on a particular therapist, institution or administrative system in an ever changing world
KAOS seeks a dialogue with parents, staff, cooperating agencies etc before starting treatment
This is done in the first phases of KAOS
32
Anticipation of failure; individuals
• People in general overestimates their degree of control
• And underestimates future risk
• KAOS normalizes this
• and insists that participants try to learn from their own and other participants experiences
• KAOS applies roleplay, skillstraining and risk-scenarios for sharing succes and failures

• Good feelings are contagious
• We have to prepare the sessions better
• Choice and use of reinforcers are very important
• The role of trainer and co-trainer needs clarification
• Roleplay, roleplay, roleplay, and in “real life” or simulated real life
