In any society a small proportion of people with mental disorder
present with behaviour that transgresses norms and violates the
rights of others. Yet these people are often vulnerable themselves
to violence, abuse or exploitation by others, or may be at risk of
neglect or self-harm. There has been a growing realisation that
both protection of the public and the personal recovery of these
patients must be championed by progressive, specialist clinicians.
This book brings together a wealth of wide-ranging views and
evidence from diverse perspectives, including academic expertise
and viewpoints from clinicians and patients, on how to manage risk
in secure care. It covers the full spectrum of people with mental
disorder who require secure care across boundaries of age,
diagnosis and gender. Written by experienced clinicians and mental
health professionals, the book is invaluable to multidisciplinary
mental health teams and criminal justice services. General and
forensic psychiatrists, service managers and hospital and community
psychiatric nurses will find this thorough handbook an essential
resource in their daily work.
