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
