“…If we start using diagnoses based on personality-related risk factors that, as in the two rulings discussed here, are part of a local forensic psychiatric tool, such as FOTRES, this raises several well-known problems relating to whether there is a sufficiently strong evidence base for the concepts or "diagnoses" used and whether evidence-based treatment is available, amongst others. Notably, whilst an earlier version of FOTRES (Urbaniok, 2007) has been initially conceptualised as a risk management tool (see also Rossegger et al, 2011), the third edition (Urbaniok, 2016), which now includes "diagnostics" in its objectives has not been adequately evaluated as a diagnostic tool; there is a lack of empirical evidence that FOTRES is fit for diagnostic or prognostic purposes (Habermeyer, Lau, et al, 2020;Habermeyer, Mokros, & Briken, 2020). If there is no evidence-based treatment available, the Court's request for "factors that are amenable to risk-reducing therapy" cannot be satisfied.…”
