People with learning disabilities have historically been overlooked in research investigating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, despite the increased prevalence of mental health difficulties among this population. As it is not uncommon for individuals with learning disabilities to be part of different relational systems (including access to a range of services), it seems logical to consider wider systems when seeking to understand difficulties that individuals may experience. While it is encouraging that there is growing interest in the use of systemic interventions for people with learning disabilities, there is limited peer‐reviewed research exploring psychological difficulties from a systemic lens. This paper seeks to address the gap in literature by presenting a case where individual systemic therapy is used to help an adult with a learning disability to manage low mood and anger. The paper documents the therapist's clinical decision‐making and learning from this case, with the hope that it encourages others to consider systemic interventions for people with learning disabilities in future.

“我不想生气和难过”：使用个体全身疗法来帮助控制患有学习障碍的成年人的愤怒和情绪低落

尽管该人群中心理健康问题的患病率有所上升，但在研究治疗干预效果的研究中，历史上一直忽略了学习障碍者。由于学习障碍者成为不同关系系统（包括访问各种服务）的一部分并不少见，因此在试图理解个人可能遇到的困难时考虑采用更广泛的系统似乎是合乎逻辑的。虽然令人鼓舞的是，对于学习障碍者使用系统干预的兴趣日益浓厚，但经过同行评议的研究却从系统的角度探讨了心理困难，目前这一研究十分有限。本文试图通过提出一种个体全身疗法来帮助有学习障碍的成年人控制情绪低落和愤怒的案例来弥补文献中的空白。该文件记录了治疗师在这种情况下的临床决策和学习情况，希望它能鼓励其他人将来考虑对学习障碍者进行系统性干预。
