Produktbeschreibung

Assessing an offender's risk is an important aspect of the forensic clinical psychologist's work. A large number of well-designed studies have been conducted into which features of offenders and offences predict reconviction. This book describes an emergent framework that targets signs of persistent pathology within offenders, or Offence Paralleling Behaviour (OPB). The book describes how these OPBs can be identified and used in risk assessment and treatment planning. The OPB framework is an individualised assessment framework; it presents a useful addition to structured risk assessment methods and formal treatment programming, both of which dominate contemporary forensic psychological practice. The editors have drawn together leading academics engaged in individualised case formulation with offenders, and frontline clinicians from a range of disciplines and theoretical orientations. Combined, they present methods which allow staff to identify and use OPB in clinical practice. The result is a book which presents clinicians and clinical academics with both a practical and theoretical understanding of OPB. In addition, it provides stimulus for empirical research and further conceptual and theoretical refinement of the OPB framework.

The editors deserve commendation for making sure thatthere are contributions from each and every discipline(administration, economics, correctional management, probation,occupational therapy). This is a fine book conceptually, and it hasprofound implications for the successful assessment and managementof violence risk."
--Christopher Webster, Professor Emeritus, Universityof Toronto and Simon Fraser University, Canada

'This book will soon become essential reading for allforensic practitioners. This is because it represents agenuine advance in thinking about practice in the forensic mentalhealth field. It offers novel perspectives on the key tasksof risk assessment and management and it defines the role offormulation as the critical task linking one with the other. This book provides information and guidance that is rational, wellsupported and workable, written by some of the most importantvoices in the field at this time. This is your route map tobetter practice in forensic mental health - Michael Daffern,Lawrence Jones, John Shine and colleagues are to be commended forbringing it to you.'
--Dr Caroline Logan, Greater Manchester West MentalHealth NHS Foundation Trust and University of Manchester, UK

'Risk formulation is the key to effective risk management;to be effective risk formulation must be individualised. Offenceparalleling behaviour is an idea that can help us to get to theheart of understanding the risks posed by an individual. As thisbook makes clear it is an idea whose time has come. A particularstrength of this volume is the breadth of the theoretical models onwhich it draws; it provides the practitioner with a theoreticallyinformed - yet fundamentally practical - approach tothe problem of risk formulation. I thoroughly recommend this volumeto all those who have the task of managing challengingindividuals.'
--Professor David J. Cooke, Glasgow CaledonianUniversity, UK
