Forensic psychotherapy explores the roots of violent, sexual and
antisocial behaviour. It is a relatively recently created
discipline that applies psychoanalytic knowledge to the assessment,
management and treatment of mentally disordered offenders, forming
a bridge between traditional forensic psychiatry - with its focus
on diagnosis and risk - and traditional psychotherapy - with its
focus on understanding why things happen. As a discipline, forensic
psychotherapy seeks to understand the conscious and unconscious
motivations that underpin specific offending behaviours. We need to
understand not only the detail of the crime, but also the offender
as a whole person within his environment, including the criminal
justice environment. It aims to understand the perpetrator, the
victim, and the victim within the perpetrator. In this collection,
leading international experts in forensic psychotherapy explore the
different aspects and developments within the field. These include
first hand experiences of shaping the emerging discipline within
the UK, Europe and the United States; working therapeutically with
high-risk offenders in prisons and secure hospitals; exploration of
female violence and work with incarcerated mothers and babies; and
the latest developments in forensic psychotherapy training. This
book will be of interest to professionals and academics working
within the fields of forensic mental health, criminal justice,
psychiatry, psychology, criminology, and sociology. This book was
originally published as two special issues of Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy.
