In einem frei zugänglichen Text aus dem Journal of Systemic Therapies 30(1) von 2011 beschreiben M. Haydon-Laurelut und
J. C. Wilson von der University of Portsmouth eine von ihnen praktizierte Variante des„Interviews eines internalisierten Anderen“.

Such people may include those with severe intellectual disabilities (ID); those with challenging behaviors; and those with high communicative sup- port needs.
