“…25 In persons with impulsive behavior problems, dialectical behavioral therapy group sessions and individual coaching resulted in some improvement in mental health compared with dialectical behavioral therapy group sessions and weekly case management. 121 In contrast, 4 other studies of psychotherapies found no differences between intervention and control groups. 86,95,96,141,144 In women with PTSD related to interpersonal victimization, there was no difference in PTSD or overall mental health status between persons randomized to group psychotherapy to enhance affect regulation without trauma memory processing or to supportive group therapy.…”

A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials of Interventions to Improve the Health of Persons During Imprisonment and in the Year After Release

et al. 2015

We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials of interventions to improve the health of people during imprisonment or in the year after release. We searched 14 biomedical and social science databases in 2014, and identified 95 studies.Most studies involved only men or a majority of men (70/83 studies in which gender was specified); only 16 studies focused on adolescents. Most studies were conducted in the United States (n = 57). The risk of bias for outcomes in almost all studies was unclear or high (n=91). In 59 studies, interventions led to improved mental health, substance use, infectious diseases, or health service utilization outcomes; in 42 of these studies, outcomes were measured in the community after release.Improving the health of people who experience imprisonment requires knowledge generation and knowledge translation, including implementation of effective interventions.Worldwide, more than 11 million people are imprisoned at any given time, and the prison population continues to grow at a rate faster than that of the general population. 1 Substantial evidence reveals that people who have experienced imprisonment have poor health compared with the general population, as indicated by the prevalence of mental illness, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and mortality. 2 There are several reasons to focus on improving the health of people who experience imprisonment. 3 The burden of disease in this population affects the general population directly through increased health care costs and through the transmission of communicable diseases (e.g., HIV, HCV, and tuberculosis) after people are released from detention. Imprisonment has also been associated with worse health in family members of those who are detained, compared with the general population, including chronic diseases 4 and poor mental health 5,6 in adult relatives and mortality in male children. 7 At the community level, higher rates of incarceration have been associated with adverse health outcomes, such as sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancies. 8 There is also evidence that poor health in persons who are released from detention, particularly those with inadequately treated mental illness and substance use disorders, 3 may affect public safety and reincarceration rates, 3 and that better access to health care is associated with less recidivism. 9,10 Finally, the right to health and health care is enshrined in international human rights documents, 11,12 and is a legislated responsibility of governments in many countries.Intervening during imprisonment and at the time of release could improve the health of people who experience imprisonment and public health overall. 13 To address this gap, we systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials of interventions to improve health in persons during imprisonment and in the year after release.We chose this population because we view imprisonment as a unique opportunity to deliver and to link with interventions for this population, and to highlight interventions t...

“…A modified DBT programme made up of a 16-week DBT skills group, followed by random assignment to DBT coaching or an individual case management condition for eight weeks, was delivered to female and male offenders with impulsive behavioural problems, across the Connecticut State prisons (Shelton, Sampl, Kesten, Zhang, & Trestman, 2009). Over the course of the study, Shelton et al, found no significant changes in participants' standardised measure scores.…”

“…Further, significant improvements were noted on a measurement of coping skills, problem solving and accepting responsibility as well as significant decreases in disciplinary tickets from pre-to post-DBT skills group assessment. Shelton, Sampl, Kesten, Zhang, and Trestman (2011) completed a secondary analysis of 38 male adolescents from the Shelton et al, (2009) study and noted significant changes in physical aggression, distancing coping methods and number of disciplinary tickets for behaviour.…”

The Holloway skills therapy programme (HoST) at Her Majesty's Prison and Young Offenders' Institution Holloway is provided to women who, because of problematic behaviour associated with borderline personality disorder, are often excluded from treatment in prison and in the community. HoST addresses issues of offending behaviour, self-harm, suicidality and indiscipline, through a modified evidence-based treatment modality, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), which is a form of cognitive behaviour psychotherapy. This paper will outline the possibility of a modified DBT approach to working with female offenders in the prison setting. A pilot evaluation of female prisoners who received the treatment is also presented through a range of quantitative measures. In turn, positive outcomes with regard to reduction in time spent on the assessment and care in custody teamwork process, reduction in adjudications and improved overall mental health are presented. These findings are discussed along with the implications for clinical practice in the prison setting. The need for future structured research is also discussed.Keywords: dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT); borderline personality disorder (BPD); female offenders; prison El Programa de Habilidades Terapéuticas de Holloway (PHTHo), en la Prisión e Institución para Jóvenes Delincuentes de Su Majestad en Holloway, es suministrado a mujeres que a causa de su conducta problemática asociada con Trastorno Borderline de la Personalidad, frecuentemente son excluidas del tratamiento en la prisión y en la comunidad.

Third Wave Therapies and the Treatment of Violence and Aggression

Since the early 1990s, a number of behavior therapies have been developed under the umbrella of the “third wave.” These therapies include acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, contextual anger regulation therapy, and mode deactivation therapy. These four therapies have differing levels of application and empirical support with regard to the treatment to violence and aggression. This chapter reviews these third wave therapies in the treatment of violence and aggression. We describe each therapy and the existing evidence for its efficacy, evaluate the current research as a whole, and give suggestions for future research in this area.
