While the design processes were, for the most part, successful, some elements of the design-thinking may have been overwrought, involving some degree of ‘magical thinking’ in which the symbolization of desired professional outcomes is confused with the direct causation of these outcomes. While this had little effect on the overall efficacy of the designs, it seems to have led to certain security features being inadequately designed.","PeriodicalId":47524,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"24 1","pages":"519-531"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81687410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, CAT reformulations and interventions have been applied in the management of forensic patients (Pollock and Kear-Colwell, 1994; Pollock, 1995, 1996, 1997a). The present paper describes two illustrative case-studies to demonstrate the use of CAT as a theoretical basis and treatment framework for interventions with offenders and to highlight the attributes of this form of psychotherapy. Specific clinical issues are emphasized, including: (1) the use of CAT language and concepts to provide an understanding of the offender's representation of his or her relation to the victim; (2) the linking of sequential patterns (termed reciprocal role procedures, dilemmas, traps and snags) to understand the offender's motivations for committing the offence; and (3) the usefulness of CAT interventions, which help to focus and direct clinica...","PeriodicalId":47524,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"56 1","pages":"629-642"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79103175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ‘difficult to place’ women were significantly more likely than the comparison group to have suffered physical and/or sexual abuse in childhood; to have committed a variety of offences; to have committed crimes of serious violence and arson; to have spent time in a secure psychiatric facility in the past; to be considered a danger to themselves and a management problem in Holloway; to have a personality disorder diagnosis; and, eventually, to receive a prison sentence or community disposal rather than a hospital order.

To date, research into the mentally ill sex offender has been limited, with few empirical studies. Home Office statistics demonstrate a rise in numbers of both restricted and unrestricted patients admitted to hospital by sexual offence. These patients are usually detained under the category of mental illness within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983. Forensic psychiatrists are expected to possess an expertise in the assessment and treatment of this population and to address concerns about recidivism. The relevance of theories of sexual offending to the mentally ill is explored and consideration given to any role mental illness may play in the offence.","PeriodicalId":47524,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology","volume":"10 1","pages":"267-280"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"1998-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72691748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
