Reports reveal an increase in the number of individuals with
serious mental illness in jails, prisons and forensic hospitals.
Despite the wide-ranging and devastating consequences of this
'criminalization' of mental illness, there remains a lack of
information on the subject as well as on the provision of care for
these patients. This important new book fills a gap in the
literature by examining topics such as: the history and policy
factors related to criminalization; original research on forensic
populations; pharmacological and psychological treatment
strategies; and principles and guidelines for diversion out of the
criminal justice system. Contributions from leading experts in the
field further our understanding of this important subject, offering
advice on how to provide humane care for patients. A must have for
all mental health clinicians including psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, and
mental health nurses. A useful tool for mental health
administrators and policy makers.
