Abstract:

Forensic psychiatry has been rapidly expanding in recent years and more NHS forensic beds are planned. This study aimed to examine the attitudes of psychiatrists towards forensic psychiatry. A questionnaire was given to psychiatrists attending a regional Royal College of Psychiatrists conference. In addition forensic psychiatrists were surveyed in the two local regional secure units. Ninety-eight psychiatrists, including twenty-four forensic psychiatrists, completed the questionnaire. Forensic and non-forensic psychiatrists tended to agree with the expansion in forensic beds. Non-forensic psychiatrists wanted a lower threshold for admission to secure units. Forensic psychiatrists disagreed. Non-forensic psychiatrists tended to feel that forensic psychiatry has been over-funded compared with other psychiatric services. They also commented that forensic services should integrate more closely with other non-secure psychiatric services and should offer more community forensic services rather than concentrating care on in-patients. Forensic services should consider what services they provide and try to meet the desires of secondary services, such as more community forensic services and greater integration with other psychiatric services.

Abstract:

Forensic psychiatry can be defined as a branch of medical science - psychiatry, whose task is to establish the mental state of a person in relation to certain legal norms and situations. Such a definition implies several main areas of activity of forensic psychiatrists and scientific research in this area. The inseparable connection between forensic psychiatry and general psychiatry, the impossibility of fruitful work of expert psychiatrists in isolation from the psychiatric clinic, without the use of an appropriate conceptual apparatus, without taking into account the development trends of diagnostics, therapy and organization, remains fundamental. Obviously, the specific tasks of forensic psychiatry at the present stage are directly related to the tasks of general psychiatry and a number of changing legal provisions, and complex integrative relations between psychiatry and law are necessary here.

Abstract:

This research project offers initial assessment in forensic psychiatry a new assessment guideline, the Forensic Assessment Format, (Carey 2006) which is a development from Jane Ussher’s material-discursive-intrapsychic model of critical realism, (Ussher 2000a). It presents a review of the technical and theoretical literature looking at the development of assessment methods in forensic psychiatry and discusses current practice and how a critical realist perspective could inform the assessment process. It is a qualitative study using both an empirical and an analytic auto-ethnographic approaches, (Anderson 2006). The research project presents data from 19 semi-structured interviews and a focus group analysed using grounded theory, (Glaser and Strauss 1967) to aid both deductive and abductive approaches, (Timmermans and Tavory 2012). Service users were involved from the beginning of the project to inform the themes that developed into the interview questions. The outcomes of the study offer support for the potential of this critical method of initial assessment to be collaborative, holistic and inclusive and that it could act as a boundary object, (Star and Griesemer 1989), between different social worlds providing a bridge for information to flow. This encourages cooperation in completing the assessment and then formulating and meeting the identified needs. It explores and provides an insight into the initial assessment process in forensic psychiatry from the perspective of the service user, referrer and assessor. Further suggestions are offered in associated areas such as how plural realities can be understood and how the assessment process in forensic psychiatry could be further improved.

Abstract:

Overview This thesis reviewed forensic aspects of Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Chapter two was a case study where an individual with ID and ASD who exhibited forensic/Challenging Behaviour (CB) was assessed and intervention offered. Chapter three then focussed on the assessment of people with ID and ASD by critiquing the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), version 3 and 4 (WAIS-III & WAIS-IV) (Wechsler, 1997; Wechsler, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c) and discussed application issues for people with ID and ASD. Chapter 4 and 5 examined intervention in more depth. Chapter 4 applied Weiner’s (1985, 1993) theory of achievement, motivation and emotion as a way of understanding contextual intervention and Chapter 5 examined the effect of psychotherapeutic interventions on CB. Chapter Two The case study discussed in chapter two examined explanations of violence and diagnoses. ASD and an ID were identified as useful neurodevelopmental diagnoses that could be used as a framework to understand the individual’s needs. Some explanations of violence were related to features of these diagnoses. Social factors were also identified as increasing risk. Violence was modelled by a key male figure during childhood development which appeared to have been retained as a template of acceptable behaviour, supporting the work of Bandura on social learning (1973). This, and the experience of being a victim of this violence, also supported the work of Douglas, Hart, Webster and Belfrage (2013) who indicated that social factors can increase the risk of violence. In turn this affected attachment supporting the work of Bowlby (1980). The behavioural approach (Cipani & Schock, 2010) was also applied to identify functions of violence. A psychotherapeutic intervention was offered to improve one aspect of emotional recognition, face perception, with the aim of enabling him to comprehend visual feedback from the environment, make interpretations about the emotions experienced by others, and modify his behaviour accordingly. There was little difference to his level of skills following the intervention. It was concluded that particular skills development may be difficult for someone with a neurodevelopmental difficulty if the biological structures are not there to support that skill, or skills may take a long time to develop. In this case it was concluded that the best intervention was to consider a placement for him in an appropriate environment that would cater for his ASD and ID related needs. Comments were made about the quality of assessments and for improvements to be considered to formulation and intervention. Chapter Three Chapter three was a critique of the WAIS, a tool widely used as part of the process to identify whether someone has an ID. This may determine if an individual may be unfit to plead in court or to determine the services appropriate for that individual’s needs. The review focussed on the most recent version, WAIS-IV (Wechsler, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c) but also referred to other versions in particular the WAIS-III (Wechsler, 1997). The conclusion was there were some flaws to the assessments that required further research and also some omissions in the epistemology. The critique examined different aspects of validity and reliability. The examination of convergent validity yielded mixed results with some positive correlations with other tests and some weak correlations. This difference could be caused by some tests measuring different aspects of ‘g’. The consequences of differences can be significant, for example the scores of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, version 4 (WISC-IV) (Wechsler, 2003) and the WAIS-IV scores could differ by up to 10 points and could mean individuals moving from a children’s to an adult service could become ineligible for the same levels of support. The results for test-retest reliability were good in the short term but more research was recommended to determine if the latest version of the WAIS would be reliable in the long term. The ‘Flynn effect’ (Flynn, 2007) indicated that levels of intelligence were rising so the WAIS-IV compensated for this and currently measures intelligence at around 3 points lower than the WAIS-III. The stability of this effect was unclear. The results for internal reliability were good although more research independent of the WAIS was recommended. The application of the WAIS for individuals with an ASD and ID was considered with the WAIS being found to be a limited tool for discriminating between categories of ASD, although what can be expected is an uneven profile. It was also unclear how useful the WAIS was to discriminate between individuals with a substance misuse/abuse disorder and normal controls. There were also difficulties with the application of the WAIS to individuals with ID. Difficulties measuring intelligence at lower levels were identified as scores can be unstable. Research was also recommended to provide a comprehensive view of the effect upon results of variables such as nationality, gender and age. Chapter Four Chapter four was an empirical research project investigating Weiner’s (1985, 1993) theory of achievement, motivation and emotion as a means of understanding the responses of unqualified nursing staff to clients with ASD exhibiting CB. One hundred and twenty seven unqualified nursing staff responded to an Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ) (Dagnan & Cairns, 2004) and questions based on a vignette. The quantitative results found weak support for Weiner’s model. There was weak evidence for the effect of demographic variables and the type of client (ASD or ID) and the type of service (ASD or Mental Health/ID) did not affect the results. Qualitative data was themed and coded according to Braun and Clarke (2006) and Boyatzis (1998) and provided an insight into the psychological processes influencing staff responses to CB. The results suggested that intervention was influenced by staff, patient and contextual variables. A recommendation was made for a contemporary exploration of the topic and to improve the validity and reliability of the ASQ. Chapter Five Chapter five was a systematic review of psychotherapeutic interventions aimed at reducing the CB exhibited by people with ID only due to a paucity of research using people with ASD as participants. A systematic literature search was conducted using 5 databases, a search of relevant journals and contact made with experts. From this 8 papers met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and these were analysed qualitatively. Three types of psychotherapeutic intervention were used within the ten papers, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), “Soles of the Feet” meditation and Solution-Focussed Brief Therapy. All types of psychotherapeutic intervention reduced CB although the results of studies using CBT were mixed. There were shortcomings to these conclusions; these were methodological issues such as a need to ensure the consistency of outcome measures and the types of CB used to measure change. The effect of intervention may have been modified by variables such as length of treatment, the context and intrapersonal variables. Conclusions The chapters of this research thesis indicated that neurodevelopmental factors influenced forensic/CB, although social role models, attachment and trauma were also significant. Assessments were important as they may affect fitness to plead and services/treatment offered. Assessments such as the WAIS are supported by research although further research has been recommended. The use of the WAIS with people with ASD and ID was limited as people with ASD appear to exhibit uneven profiles when completing the WAIS and there were inaccuracies when using the WAIS with people with lower levels of intelligence. The difficulties people with ASD have with social communication skills can also affect performance and support is needed when administering assessments. Intervention for people with a neurodevelopmental difficulty can also be successful. Consideration is needed regarding appropriate intervention for each individual, how long before the intervention is effective, the context including the type of support offered and how that affects outcomes, intrapersonal variables such as intelligence, and whether the treatment includes one to one support. More research of an improved quality is required to determine the effectiveness of both assessment and treatment including contextual based treatment such as the interaction between staff and patients within an institutional setting. Considering these further would improve the service for this client group and contribute to a reduction of risk.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the contribution of the Personal Concerns Inventory (PCI; Cox & Klinger, 2000) to the development of treatment engagement strategies with people with personality disorder (PD) in forensic settings. A systematic literature review of evaluated engagement strategies with offenders and people with PD showed little diversity in terms of strategies evaluated with PD, specifically psycho-education and goal-based interventions only (Chapter 2). Furthermore current literature focuses mainly on motivational interviewing (MI) in offenders as somewhat useful in increasing motivation to engage and change. However preliminary support for node-mapping and interactive activities has been found in a small number of studies. The distinct lack of strategies with PD is problematic considering the high treatment non-completion rates with this population and the case study in Chapter 3 discusses the complexity of working with patients with PD. It finds Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which embeds motivational strategies in its programme, as improving not only treatment retention but also clinical outcomes, thereby offering further encouragement in focusing engagement strategies with PD. Consequently, a critique of the PCI was necessary in understanding the PCI as both a measure of motivation to change and a motivational intervention. This semi-structured interview demonstrates reasonable reliability and validity however the offender variants’ psychometric properties are weaker. The robust theoretical basis of the PCI and the consistent positive qualitative feedback from participants suggests value in evaluating the tool as a motivational intervention. Thus Chapter 5, an empirical study, evaluates the PCI followed by goal counselling as a motivational intervention with people with PD using a mixed-methods approach and a small number multiple baseline design. The quantitative results offer limited support for the effectiveness of the PCI or understanding of the process of change. However the qualitative data reflects that in existing PCI literature: participants perceived it as effective in focusing them on their goals and the relevance of treatment, thereby enhancing motivation. Therefore further investigations are needed to clarify discrepancies between participant perception and the outcome measure data in order to understand the extent to which the PCI enhances motivation. The final chapter summarises the thesis’ findings, the impact for research and clinical practice, the main limitations of this thesis, and makes recommendations for future research. Overall, the complex and idiosyncratic manifestation of a diagnosis of PD and the numerous external and internal factors affecting the engagement of people with PD recommend tailored assessment and intervention using a client-led approach.

Abstract:

The central issue addressed in this thesis was the validation of a novel risk assessment system designed to meet the security requirements of a high secure forensic hospital. To this end, three research strands investigating the clinical, predictive and preventative utility of the system were pursued. This thesis reports the process of the development, adaptation and implementation of a system based on the HCR-20, called the Structured Clinical Judgement: Risk (SCJ: Risk). The first research strand involved investigation of the processes necessary implement a system of structured professional judgement. The conceptual and operational utility of the system were investigated, and successful implementation of the system within clinical practice was demonstrated by compliance of use by clinical teams. A survey was conducted, investigating the perceptions of clinicians in relation to the clinical utility and usability of the SCJ: Risk. Overall acceptance of the pilot and implementation phase of the system was demonstrated, and the system was perceived to assist clinical teams to structure and document risk-related decisions. The second research strand studied the validity of the SCJ: Risk in predicting intra-institutional behaviour. A prospective investigation of the application of the SCJ: Risk to a forensic population detained in conditions of high security was conducted and this demonstrated variation in the predictive utility of the system. The predictive accuracy of subscale items of the SCJ: Risk, and the individual risk factors comprising the subscales of the system were robust for behaviours relevant to violence and suicide/self-harm. However, prediction of behaviours relevant to escape/abscond, vulnerability to risk from others and subversion of security were not demonstrated. The third research strand involved exploration of the preventative utility of the system, specifically if the identification of a patient as high-risk would minimise the occurrence, or prolong the time to an incident of intra-institutional behaviour. Results illustrated the efficacy of the SCJ: Risk system in the identification of high risk individuals for behaviours relevant to any intra-institutional infraction, violence and self-harm. Patients identified as high-risk displayed a higher prevalence and earlier incidence of relevant intra-institutional behaviour. It is concluded that the system of Structured Clinical Judgement: Risk (as an adaptation of the HCR-20) contributes positively to the overall goals of clarity of risk communication, identification and management of high risk patients within forensic psychiatric practice. However, the extended risk assessment of the SCJ: Risk does not make a significant additional contribution to the parental system on which it is based.

Abstract:

1.Objective: Dual diagnosis patients perpetrate crime more often than healthy individuals and is of great importance for forensic mental health services. However, in dual diagnosis patients, very little is known about factors explaining criminal behavior. This work aims to summarize the epidemiological and clinical approach of dual diagnosis patients, focusing on the Iberian Peninsula scope. Aditionaly, it aims to analyse the state of the art regarding associations between demographic and clinical factors and perpetration of crime in dual disorder patients. 2. Method: A non-systematic review of the literature is presented. Bibliographic selection was carried out through keyword research in MEDLINE and Google Scholar. 3. Results and conclusions: Perpetration of violence was independently associated with younger age, severity of alcohol use problems, lifetime trauma exposure, and higher manic symptom scores. The three drugs most commonly associated with the drugs–crime connection are heroin, crack and cocaine. A study conducted in penitentiary centers of the Interior in Spain found a high percentage of dual pathology (81.4%) In the portuguese largest security ward, in Coimbra, 40.5% of the sample had dual diagnosis disorders. Forensic units must take an integrated approach to addressing substance-use disorders. It is needed to consider not only the complexities of the substance misuse and the mental disorder, but also the offending behaviour that brought them into the forensic services. Also, social skills can effectively be improved in dual diagnosis patients. Further research is required to identify additional risk factors, such as individual substances of abuse, and establish a causal model leading to criminal perpetration.

Abstract:

The article considers the disadvantages of modern forensic classifications of damaging factors. Attention is drawn to the fact that the mental damaging factor undoubtedly exists, but the assessment of its specific role in the formation of “damage” is the subject of forensic psychiatry, which is an independent medical discipline. The social factor mainly affects the behavior of an individual (population group), but its specific features are also not evaluated by methods and techniques of forensic medicine. There is a discrepancy between general and particular classifications — in particular, the forensic classification of explosions includes chemical, physical and nuclear explosions, with the latter's place in the composition of physical explosions. There is a violation of the continuity of classification — a typical error is a violation of hierarchy (the location in the same row of bacterial, viral, and antigenic or toxin damaging actions). It is concluded that due to the variability of the properties of damaging factors, we should not be talking about the classification of damaging factors (material bodies or phenomena), but about the classification of damaging properties of material bodies and phenomena.

Abstract:

It is well recognized that there is a link between psychopathy, violent behaviour, and crime. Psychopathy is a personality construct typically related to deficits in interpersonal (e.g., manipulative, selfish), emotional (e.g., callous-unemotional) functioning, and social deviance with developmental origins. Characteristics associated with adult antisocial behaviour have been identified in children and adolescents. A large number of studies have provided empirical pieces of evidence. Despite researchers agreeing with the most essential components of psychopathy such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, fearlessness, or dominance, there has been some debate in certain areas. The existing literature on the construct of juvenile psychopathy shows that most youths start manifesting antisocial acts in their early life. The focus of this study was to present the role of psychopathic traits in juveniles and connect it to law enforcement, criminal law, child and adolescent psychiatry, and other forensic sciences (criminology, criminal psychology). Juvenile psychopathy is a subgroup of antisocial youth, and their identification is very important because of preventative measures, law enforcement, and more. Youth with high psychopathic traits establish their antisocial career early on. They are aggressive to people and animals, in most cases destroy others’ property, lie, deceive, thieve and commit other serious violent behaviours (not respecting rules). Ultimately, the recognition of such factors has a predictive value not only from the point of view of child and adolescent psychiatry but also from the point of view of law enforcement and forensic psychology, as they can be applied in crime prevention.

Abstract:

Objectives Previous studies have reported that substance misuse (including alcohol) was the strongest risk factor for violence among psychiatric diagnoses, and absolute rates of violence perpetration of over 10% in substance misuse have been found, meaning that it is an important adverse outcome for clinicians to consider. However, very few studies exist about differences in individuals considered not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) with only a primary psychiatric diagnosis and those with dual pathology. This study aims to compare these two groups regarding criminal history and violence. Material and Methods We analyzed a sample of 44 inpatients committed under security measure in the Forensic Psychiatry Regional Department of Lisbon’s Psychiatric Hospital Centre, after being deemed NGRI and dangerous. Data regarding previous history of substance use, psychiatric disorder and criminal history was retrospectively collected. Results and conclusions Unlike what is described in literature for other groups, in our sample of NGRI patients, dual pathology was significantly associated to having no previous violent behavior; furthermore, regarding the offense for which they were considered NGRI, patients with dual pathology were not more likely to have committed a violent crime when compared with patients with only a primary diagnosis. This may be explained because the primary illness (and not other psychosocial factors or substance misuse) was considered the primary reason for having committed the offense, and many patients were committed for domestic violence in the context of developmental disorders, an independent risk factor for violence against relatives. There was no difference between the two groups regarding other variables. Our study highlights that drug and substance misuse may be a less important factor regarding violence in the context of insanity than in other types of violence.

Abstract:

The results of an experimental study of the features of the formation of socio-psychological attitudes in the motivational-need-to-required sphere using the example of a sample of respondents detained by law enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic for committing crimes of a terrorist nature are analyzed in the article. The experiment was conducted on the basis of the Republican Psychoneurological Dispensary, where criminals detained for terrorist activities at different periods of time underwent a forensic psychiatric examination as part of investigative actions, during which their socio-psychological status was also studied. A total of 32 criminals detained for committing crimes of a terrorist nature were examined, the average age was 27 ± 5. Individuals of youthful age (average age 24±6) in the amount of 31 people were selected as a reference group for comparative analysis. An analysis of the results of the experiment showed that terrorists, compared with law-abiding citizens, have lower values for the formation of socio-psychological attitudes of the individual in the motivational-need sphere, which determines the orientation of the individual to the process, result, work, freedom and power. At the same time, in the motivational-required sphere of terrorists, despite their asocial orientation, socio-psychological attitudes towards altruism (possibly of a selective nature) and freedom prevail, while personal attitudes that determine the orientation towards selfishness and money are less formed.
