Drawing from the experiences of those working within the Millfields Unit specialist service for high-risk male offenders with personality disorder, this book provides readers working in forensic personality disorder services, whether in hospital or in prison, with a primer on the theory underpinning a successful treatment model and demonstrates how to put it into practice.\nWritten by staff in dialogue with their patients, the innovative approach explored within this book brings together psychodynamic thinking and offending behaviour theory to create a more holistic way of addressing the suffering caused, both to themselves and others, by these complex individuals. Chapters explore:\nthe rationale and theoretical underpinnings of the psychodynamically informed therapeutic community approach\nthe process of selecting, assessing and admitting a patient\nhow to form a therapeutic alliance in the face of challenging presentations\nthe potentially volatile process of change\nthe importance of transitions and aftercare\nstaff selection and training at beginner and higher levels\nworking as part of a multidisciplinary team.\nAn essential read for forensic mental health clinicians and allied health professionals, this book will be instrumental for those already dedicated to working with this target population. It will challenge certain stigmas by demonstrating that an informed treatment approach carries with it a good chance of successful rehabilitation and can also be highly rewarding.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51049129312544,"sku":"9781032709215","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781032709215.jpg?v=1781125085","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/treating-high-risk-offenders-with-personality-disorder-9781032709215","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
