Article describes the validation of self-report of risk by patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) as compared with the judgement of experienced psychotherapists in regular contact with them. The aim was to validate the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation System (CORE) self-report in order to be able to use it monitor risk change for patients with BPD in psychotherapy and general psychiatric settings. There was significant separation correlation between CORE risk sub-scales for self-harm, suicide and risk to others and therapists' estimation of significant risk v. no significant risk.
Randomised comparison of the effectiveness and costs of community and hospital based mental health services for children with behavioural disorders

This study tests the hypothesis that a community based intervention by secondary child and adolescent mental health services would be significantly more effective and less costly that a hospital based intervention. The results of the study suggest that the location of child mental health services may be less important than the range of services that they provide, which should include effective treatment for parents' mental health problems.
Correlates of recommended aftercare service use after intensive family preservation services

The Anderson framework of service use was used to examine the correlates of use of the recommended aftercare services after intensive family preservation services (IFPS). Although most families had contact with at least some of the recommended aftercare services, the models explained little of the variance in service use. It is suggested that use of recommended aftercare services be conceptualized as treatment adherence and that researchers incorporate treatment process variables when studying the use of recommended services.
