In recent years forensic mental health has come under intense scrutiny, particularly with the emergence of specialist qualifications in this area, which has lead to practitioners examining and developing their practice. One of the main problems though has been with publications in this area. Many of them have looked at the theoretical background and individual client problems in forensic mental health but not effective practice as a whole. This book aims to address these issues by looking at effective practice and development as a whole. It aims to provide clear guidance, founded in empirical forensic application, on how to tackle the key issues in practice, particularly in relation to the care and management of diverse client populations, and also stressing the importance of multi-disciplinary teamwork.
