Methods To investigate the effects of SFBT, we
conducted a controlled pre- and post-test and
follow-up study with 20 people with mild ID (MID)
receiving SFBT and 18 people with MID receiving
care as usual (CAU). We expected that SFBT could
help people with MID with (1) reaching treatment
goals; (2) improving quality of life (i.e. psychological
and social functioning); (3) reducing maladaptive
behaviour; and (4) increasing resilience
(autonomy and social optimism).
