“…All in all, in line with the WHO action plan, our research calls for increased individuality when delivering all levels of service. Meaningful activities are necessary, such as supported work, maintaining freedom from substance misuse, enabling self-determination, and a participatory role whilst engaged in the services, bearing in mind the various aspects of security (20,(69)(70)(71)(72). Thus, passive custodial institutionalization, or warehousing, must be replaced on an individual level by interactive and dynamic therapeutic security, supported by its procedural and physical counterparts, i.e., the institutional facets of security.…”

Factors Affecting Treatment Regress and Progress in Forensic Psychiatry: A Thematic Analysis

International variability and shifting trends in forensic psychiatry lead to gaps in national service provision and needs for service development. This study explores these needs through the subjective narratives of those involved in Finnish forensic services, either as forensic psychiatric patients, their parents, or service providers. Data was gathered by means of thematic interview and subjected to thematic analysis. Three main themes emerged: (1) pre-treatment challenges, (2) institutional/treatment-related concerns about therapeutic security and (3) adapting and recovery. The research highlights the need to develop forensic psychiatric services at three levels. First, it calls for increased risk awareness and risk assessment skills at the general psychiatric level. Second, it emphasizes the need for increased therapeutic engagement throughout the rehabilitative process. Third, it calls for structured and meaningful post-discharge aftercare. At all three levels, gradated security-aware standardization and patient triage in forensic services would help to develop and maintain an intact care pathway. This would decrease offending, marginalization, and suffering. Only then can we begin to meet the requirements of the WHO European Mental Health Action Plan. These findings can contribute to the development of international, standardized treatment models for clinical forensic psychiatric practices.

“…As demonstrated by Shoham et al, (2018), rehabilitation is quite effective in these instances, but its effectiveness depends on the strength of the rehabilitative program and the individual offender. Work conducted by DeMatteo et al (2019) showcases the effectiveness of rehabilitation across a wide variety of violent offenders and the meaningful positive results this has on overall recidivism and community relations. Due to certain aspects, such as defiance theory, some offenders are less likely than others to be able to benefit meaningfully from rehabilitation.…”

The implementation of rehabilitation programs in the penal system has garnered significant attention to address the root causes of criminal behaviour and facilitate the successful reintegration of offenders into society. However, the effectiveness of rehabilitation in prisons remains a subject of debate. Specifically, it is disputed what factors influence rehabilitation effectiveness, with particular attention given to psychological and educational rehabilitation approaches, as well as factors affecting socio-demographic groups like age, race, and gender. The project conducted in-depth interviews with Ukrainian and Canadian university students to explore this issue further. Studies on rehabilitation effectiveness have produced varying results, with some indicating positive changes in inmates' psychological well-being and easier societal reintegration. In contrast, others have shown limited or no significant improvements. Their insight highlighted the need for improvements in the rehabilitation process to ensure public safety and reduce recidivism rates. By addressing these concerns, society can have greater confidence in the rehabilitative efforts undertaken in correctional facilities, ultimately fostering a safer environment for all.
