This book provides a timely reminder of the progress that has been made in working positively and therapeutically with personality disordered people in secure mental health settings. The editors and contributors have done an excellent job in communicating issues that arise at the clinical coal-face. Highly recommended.’
—Professor Kevin Howells, Professor of Forensic Clinical Psychology, Institute of Mental Health and Nottingham University, UK
‘This book is essential reading for practitioners and
service managers, researchers and even service users in facilities
for people with personality disorder – in forensic mental
health, prison and probation. Using the Personality Disorder
Service at Rampton Hospital as its focus, this book examines every
aspect of the organised therapeutic response to personality
disordered offenders – from changing patterns in referrals
and care pathways to evidence-based assessments and treatments;
from therapeutic engagement and style to boundaries; from workforce
planning and development to the service user experience. This is a
treasure chest of essential guidance from those in a position to
lead the way.’
—Dr Caroline Logan, Greater Manchester West Mental
Health NHS Foundation Trust and University of Manchester, UK
