    I am looking for evidence of the frequency of psychological intervention for an individual with these issues.  There is no treating psychologist on the file at this time, however recommendations have been made by the treating occupational therapists, various medical assessors (including psychiatry).  No one can offer an opinion on the frequency and duration of required treatment for a variety of reasons.  I am therefore looking for research that provides guidelines for this.  

    Thank you.
