  • Gumpel, T. (1994): Social competence and social skills training for persons with mental-retardation – An expansion of a behavioral paradigm. In: EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN MENTAL RETARDATION AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 29 (3), S. 194-201

    Abstract: The imperative for a reformulation of social skills training theory for adults with mental retardation is discussed. Current practices in social skills training for persons with mental retardation are summarized along with potential reasons for their concomitant lack of maintenance and generalization of treatment gains. In order to better understand the process of social skills acquisition, the concept of social competence must be redefined. A cognitive-behavioral definition and model of social competence and social skills is described which attempts to unify traditional social learning concepts with more recent advances in research and practice with persons with cognitive deficits, along with a focus on its utility in the training of social skills among persons with mental retardation.

  • Rice, M. E. (1980): Assessment and training of social competence in dangerous psychiatric - patients. In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LAW AND PSYCHIATRY 3 (4), S. 371-390

    Abstract: Traditional approaches to the assessment and treatment of individuals who have demonstrated dangerous behavior have been based upon a trait model of personality. The social competence model differs from the trait model by assuming that much behavior is situationally determined, that new socially competent behavior patterns can be acquired through observation of models and practice, and that the frequency of undesirable behaviors can be reduced by increasing the frequency of incompatible, desirable behaviors. This paper reports the applications of the social competence model to the assessment and treatment of men in a security hospital, including individuals confined because of specific offenses, such as sex crimes, arson, and institutional assault, as well as those with high overcontrolled-hostility scores, low overall social skill ratings, and low popularity ratings from their peers. The social skills training approach that we have employed has been most successful with sex offenders and arsonists. The results suggest that the most withdrawn and shy individuals derive the greatest benefit from our social skills training approach while overassertive individuals benefit least. It is hypothesized that staff may reward unassertive patient behavior and punish assertive behavior and that future research must focus on changing this pattern in order to foster socially competent behavior by institutional residents. While many problems remain to be answered, our preliminary results suggest the usefulness of the social competence approach in the assessment and treatment of dangerous psychiatric patients and offer the possibility that the approach may lead to better control of violent behavior in the future.
