Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology in Europe
This study guide aims to make European trainees in forensic psychiatry and psychology and young forensic psychiatrists and psychologists aware of the differences and commonalities in forensic psychiatry and psychology in different countries within Europe and to enable them to learn from the approaches adopted in each country. The guide is divided into five main sections that address legal frameworks, service provision and frameworks, mandatory skills, teaching and training in forensic psychiatry and psychology, and capita selecta. In addition, recommendations are made with respect to the practice of teaching and training across European countries. It is anticipated that the guide will provide an excellent means of improving specific skills and that, by learning about the offender/patient pathways in the different jurisdictions of Europe, the reader will gain a deeper understanding of the principles that govern methods and practices in their own work with mentally disordered offenders.

Co-occurring Addictive and Psychiatric Disorders
This book provides a comprehensive, state of the art overview that covers both the diagnosis and the treatment of dual disorders – joint psychiatric and substance use disorders associated with a worse outcome and disease progression than single psychiatric or addictive disorders. The book is designed to be highly relevant to clinical work and the organization of care systems and meets the real need for a European perspective on dual disorders that takes into account the realities of European treatment organization. All chapters have been written by European authors on the basis of existing European treatment programs or guidelines and European research. The book will be invaluable for all health professionals working in mental health and addiction care, who are increasingly confronted with patients suffering from dual disorders.
Ethical Issues in Prison Psychiatry
Recent surveys demonstrate a high and possibly increasing prevalence of mental disorders in prisoners. They have an increased risk of suffering from a mental disorder that transcends countries and diagnoses. Ethical dilemmas in prison psychiatry arise from resource allocation and include issues of patient choice and autonomy in an inherently coercive environment. Ethical conflicts may arise from the dual role of forensic psychiatrists giving raise to tensions between patient care/protection of the public.This book describes models and ethical issues of psychiatric healthcare in prison in several countries. Relevant issues are: the professional medical role of a psychiatrist and/or psychotherapist working in prison, the involvement of psychiatrists in disciplinary or coercive measures; consent to treatment, the use of coercion in forcing a prisoner to undergo treatment, hunger strike, confidentiality. The book ends with consensus guidelines concerning good practice in Prison Psychiatry.
Refusing Care
It has been said that how a society treats its least well-off members speaks volumes about its humanity. If so, our treatment of the mentally ill suggests that American society is inhumane: swinging between overintervention and utter neglect, we sometimes force extreme treatments on those who do not want them, and at other times discharge mentally ill patients who do want treatment without providing adequate resources for their care in the community. Focusing on overinterventionist approaches, Refusing Care explores when, if ever, the mentally ill should be treated against their will. Basing her analysis on case and empirical studies, Elyn R. Saks explores dilemmas raised by forced treatment...
Handboek Forensische Gedragswetenschappen
De forensische geestelijke gezondheidszorg is een boeiend en tegelijk complex domein in volle ontwikkeling. Zij bevindt zich op het kruispunt van de geestelijke gezondheidszorg en het recht. Uiteenlopende vakspecialisten uit justitie en hulpverlening zijn hierbij op elkaar aangewezen. Voor een adequate samenwerking is kennis van de context waarin de verschillende actoren werken essentieel. Dit handboek bevat bijgevolg bijdragen van juristen, psychiaters, psychologen, orthopedagogen, criminologen, verpleegkundigen en maatschappelijk werkers. De auteurs zijn zowel academici als experten uit de praktijk. Zij behandelen uit beide gezichtspunten uiteenlopende wetenschaps- en praktijkdomeinen die van groot belang zijn voor de forensische geestelijke gezondheidszorg. Het handboek is ontwikkeld met het oog op de Permanente Vorming Forensische Gedragswetenschappen, georganiseerd door de Universiteit Gent, de Hogeschool Gent en de Arteveldehogeschool. Het geeft ook ruimer aan alle belanghebbende lezers waardevolle wetenschappelijke en multidisciplinaire inzichten mee over de forensische geestelijke gezondheidszorg in Vlaanderen.
