“…Sessions address a range of treatment targets, including interpersonal problem solving, emotional selfcontrol, social skills, negotiation skills, values enhancement, and critical reasoning. Initially tested in a probation context in Ontario (Ross et al 1988), the programme was subsequently evaluated on a much larger scale with Canadian federal offenders (Robinson 1995) and has since been used in numerous settings in the United States of America (van Voorhis et al 2004) and 16 other countries (Antonowicz 2005). A meta-analytical review of outcome studies, subsuming 26 separate comparisons, has provided support for the efficacy of the programme (Tong and Farrington 2006).…”

This paper reports the outcome of a 17-month follow-up of structured, community-based, offence-focused, intervention programmes designed to reduce rates of re-conviction amongst adjudicated offenders under probation supervision. Three separate programmes were examined, all derived from a cognitive social learning model of risk factors for repeated involvement in crime. Using a quasiexperimental design, the study compared male offenders who had completed programmes (n=215) with a non-completion group (n=181), a group allocated to programmes but who had not commenced them (n=339), and a control sample (n=194) not allocated to the programmes. Outcome data analysis employed (a) an "intent to treat" between-group comparison, (b) "treatment received" methodology. In order to take account of selection bias, data were further analysed using instrumental variables and propensity scores; results suggested a possible treatment effect for moderate and higher-risk cases. Factors influencing different interpretations of these findings were considered.Keywords Cognitive-behavioural . Offenders . Probation . Recidivism .

“…Layer 2, prosocial competencies, is a treatment based on a social problem approach to offending (Hollin & Palmer, 2006;McGuire, 1995). The focus is on improving patients' impulse control, reasoning (thinking) skills, understanding of the consequences of behaviour, empathy skills, interpersonal problem-solving skills, broadening their view of the world, and developing alternative interpretations of their environment, social rules, and obligations (Antonowicz, 2005).…”

The purpose of this paper is to review the role and scope of forensic clinical psychology in forensic services and to develop a service model for psychological treatments in secure unit settings. The paper presents the findings of a one-year audit of the Southwark Forensic Psychology Service between April 2004 and March 2005, completed in order to determine the clinical activities provided by the service. It was found that 67% of working time was spent engaged in patient-related work (i.e., in direct or indirect patient contact), and an additional 11% in supervision of this work. The remainder of the time was spent in consultations and meetings, and in activities relating to recruitment, continuous professional development, research, teaching, and training. Only 19% of the patient-related work involved direct patient contact. Most of the indirect patient contact time related to attendance at management/ward rounds and care planning arrangement meetings, reading medical files, report writing, and conducting risk assessments. The audit findings have been used to produce a strength-based service model, which is based on current philosophy regarding the most effective way to integrate psychology into a multi-disciplinary team.

“…Moreover, only one validated CBT program has been adapted for off enders with mental illness and systematically studied. Four small studies conducted on inpatient forensic wards in the United Kingdom and Germany provide preliminary evidence that this program, "Reasoning and Rehabilitation-2 for Mentally Disordered Off enders" (Young and Ross 2007 ) increases motivation to change, reduces criminal thinking and attitudes, and reduces disruptive behavior on inpatient units (see Antonowicz 2005 ;Young, Chick, and Gudjonsson 2010 ). Its eff ect on criminal behavior, however, is unknown.…”
