The Use of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy with People with Asperger Syndrome

A Case Study

The Centre for Social and Communication Disorders, UK

A young man with Asperger syndrome who presented with severe depression and self-injurious behaviour was treated with Ig sessions of cognitive-behavioural therapy. A decrease in the levels of measured depression and self-injury were found following the therapy. It remained unclear exactly which elements of the intervention brought about the improvements. The use of cognitive-behavioural treatments with people with Asperger syndrome is discussed.

Key Words: Asperger syndrome • cognitive-behavioural therapy • depression • psychotherapy • self-harm
