The UK Government's Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Strategy is
one of the most significant developments in mental health and
criminal justice in recent years. The challenges presented by
personality disorder offenders are not unique to the UK and this
book also provides a useful overview of developments in the UK for
those working with this population in countries where health
service provision and legal frameworks pose different challenges.
Managing Personality Disordered Offenders: A Pathways Approach
describes how the OPD Strategy has been implemented by a consortium
of mental health trusts in the UK, in collaboration with the
National Probation Service and the Prison Service. This volume
covers the broad range of key tasks in developing and delivering an
OPD service. This includes reviewing the political and clinical
context and how it aims to address some of the criticisms levelled
at previous initiatives developed to meet the needs of this
population. In each chapter, the authors review the existing
literature and discuss the various options that were considered
during the development of each of the services. Through this lens,
the reader gains a better understanding of the direction taken,
followed by a detailed, practical "how to do it" guide.
