Only two studies, using medroxyprogesterone acetate, reported recidivism and found a significant reduction in those taking the drug.…”

Background: Sexual behaviour towards another person who does not or cannot consent to it causes serious harm to its victims. Understandable tendencies towards isolating or shaming the offenders, however, may actually increase risks of recidivism and further such harms. Aim:The study aims to consider evidence for the effectiveness of interventions for sex offenders, mainly in a U.K.context, across four areas: criminal justice system programmes, medication, interventions for sex offenders with personality disorder and a community-based model for the reintegration-Circles of Support and Accountability, and identify key evidence gaps. Methods:We searched for reviews in the following four strands of work-psychosocial programmes, medication, personality focused therapies, and Circles of Support and Accountability-and identified gaps in knowledge.

“…The problem of ethical incommensurability raises its head here.^ [14] context, it should be made clear to offenders that the goals of treatment not always coincide with their own interests, as this satisfies the requirements of both minimizing distress (caused by otherwise deceitful disguising of the true purpose of treatment) and promoting equality (by providing offenders with the same amount of knowledge regarding treatment goals as that possessed by therapists) [18]. Although evidence about the effectiveness of pharmacological agents in treating sex offenders is inconclusive [20,21], Daniel Turner and colleagues nevertheless discuss that Bclinical experience suggests that, for some paraphilic patients, medication is a useful addition to psychotherapeutic interventions and, as such, its use is being recommended by both clinicians and the WFSBP [World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry] guidelines^ [22,23].…”

In the context of debates on (forensic) psychiatry issues pertaining to moral dimensions of (forensic) psychiatric health care are frequently discussed. These debates invite reflection on the question whether forensic practitioners have a role in stimulating patients' moral development and moral growth in the context of forensic psychiatric and psychological treatment and care. We conducted a qualitative study to examine to what extent forensic practitioners consider moral development and moral growth to be a part of their current professional practices and to what extent they think that stimulating moral development is a legitimate objective in the context of forensic psychiatric treatment. In addition, we asked how forensic practitioners balance pubic safety and risk management concerns with the interests and wellbeing of the individual patient. We conclude that: (i) elements of moral development and moral growth in forensic psychiatric care practices are to a certain extent inevitable and not necessarily questionable or undesirable; (ii) yet, as in similar debates these elements need to be made explicit in order to discuss the accompanying ethical challenges and boundaries. An open academic, professional and public debate on aspects of stimulating moral betterment within current practices is therefore desirable.

A therapeutic trial is generally conducted to determine a new treatment or improve therapeutic applications. Several crucial questions should be considered before the trial is undertaken. The planning of a clinical trial involves a succession of steps intended to develop a protocol providing a clear and unbiased answer to a precise therapeutic question. What treatments are to be compared? What type of population should be studied? What are the evaluation criteria? What is the most suitable experimental scheme? How many patients should be included? What statistical procedures should be implemented (single analysis, intermediary analysis, serial analysis)? This paper considers briefly the main points to be resolved at each planning stage.
