{"title":"Understanding Suicide Terrorism: Psychosocial Dynamics","authors":"Alice Bennett","doi":"10.53841/bpsfu.2020.1.135.58","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpsfu.2020.1.135.58","url":null,"abstract":"Terrorism is a big political and social challenge which the world is facing in modern times. A major variant of modern day terrorism is suicidal terrorism in which, the perpetrators create a threat by killing themselves and inducing mass damage. This creates mass hysteria and a threat to normalcy. Terrorism stripped to the basics is an atypical human behaviour. Terrorism is one of the most potent weapons of psychological warfare that incapacitates the target by precluding predictability. Suicidal terrorism or the act of giving up one’s life in order to damage or terrorize the target has never been understood in its totality. The novelty of this method was entirely in the mental aspect, the willingness of the suicides to cause their own death, the willingness of the organizations to sacrifice them and the support of the social milieu for such forms of terrorism. Suicide attacks are an extreme form of terrorism. The number of such attacks was small in the 1980s and 1990s. The number of scholarly publications grew after the dramatic attacks of 9/11 (2001), and continued to grow in the following years. Only a small minority of the growing body of works on suicidal terrorism have specifically focussed on the psychological aspects of this phenomenon. Psychology and Sociology have been greatly underrepresented in the academic literature on suicide terrorism. Thus, this book is an important addition to our body of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":426788,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Update","volume":"373 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115911317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre- and post-scores were collected using the service user version of the Scale to Assess Therapeutic Relationships (STAR-P; McGuire-Snieckus et al., 2007).A paired-samples t-test revealed a significant increase in positive collaboration, positive clinician input, and overall total score. This suggested an overall increase in positive therapeutic relationship.The findings support the existing literature of the importance of co-production in increasing the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, and co-production should be a key component of developing treatment plans.This study contributes to developing an understanding of the importance of co-production in secure services, particularly within an intellectual disability population.","PeriodicalId":426788,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Update","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116953827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this review was to systematically identify and critically review studies, which look at professionals working with adolescents with a history of sexual offending (HSO), to explore possible factors that may influence professional attributions, to provide a starting point for future research. Four papers were selected for the systematic review according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eight factors emerged that indicated relevance towards professional attributions: professionals’ (1) experience, (2) training, (3) personal history, (4) degree of psychological knowledge, (5) ethnicity and (6) gender; and the adolescent’s (7) age and (8) personal history. Directions for future research are discussed, along with the importance of formulation and training in forensic practice.","PeriodicalId":426788,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Update","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124001114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
