内容説明
As mentally disordered offenders have emerged into more public view in the community, it has become increasingly necessary to examine the working practices of community based staff who have cared for them. Until now, there has been an absence of literature to inform these community-based professionals how to work effectively with their clients and with each other. This book offers the first in-depth examination of the issues involved in working with this client group and provides a guide through the maze of policies, legislation, practicalities and dilemmas. Topics covered include: risk assessment; supervision; inequality and discrimination; residential and daycare services; and primary and secondary intervention. This practical handbook is written for students and practitioners in fields such as social work, community psychiatric nursing, and occupational therapy as well as for managers in mental health and social services. This book should be of interest to community psychiatric nurses; social workers; probation officers; and managers in mental health, probation and social services.

内容説明
In the past forensic psychiatry has been a sub-speciality of general psychiatry without its own, separate identity. However, since the mid-1980s there has been a growing in terest in the application of community care principles to mentally disordered offenders. A new set of attitudes have developed which have enabled the mentally disordered offender to emerge from relative institutional obscurity to a much higher profile in the community. Although numerically small in relation to the general psychiatric population, forensic patients tend to attract the public' s attention by virtue of their greater propensity for troublesome behaviour. Such a group needs expert community support in order to maintain an accepta bie public face. Unfortunately these developments have outstripped the creation of training opportunities for community staff charged with their support and supervision. Most community practi tioners have had to learn 'on the job' with inadequate support and supervision from senior staff, who of ten have less direct experience of working with this client group than themselves. Just such a situation prompted the authors, in 1990, to establish a module on 'Working with Mentally Disordered Offenders in the Community' as part of an MA in Social W ork at the University of Reading. As the course developed it became clear that the topic and content had equal application to other community professionals working in the field.
