Review
—Christopher Webster, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto and Simon Fraser University, Canada
‘This book will soon become essential reading for all forensic practitioners. This is because it represents a genuine advance in thinking about practice in the forensic mental health field. It offers novel perspectives on the key tasks of risk assessment and management and it defines the role of formulation as the critical task linking one with the other. This book provides information and guidance that is rational, well supported and workable, written by some of the most important voices in the field at this time. This is your route map to better practice in forensic mental health – Michael Daffern, Lawrence Jones, John Shine and colleagues are to be commended for bringing it to you.’
—Dr Caroline Logan, Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and University of Manchester, UK
‘Risk formulation is the key to effective risk management; to be effective risk formulation must be individualised. Offence paralleling behaviour is an idea that can help us to get to the heart of understanding the risks posed by an individual. As this book makes clear it is an idea whose time has come. A particular strength of this volume is the breadth of the theoretical models on which it draws; it provides the practitioner with a theoretically informed ─ yet fundamentally practical ─ approach to the problem of risk formulation. I thoroughly recommend this volume to all those who have the task of managing challenging individuals.’
—Professor David J. Cooke, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK
From the Back Cover
The editors have drawn together leading academics engaged in individualised case formulation with offenders, and frontline clinicians from a range of disciplines and theoretical orientations. Combined, they present methods which allow staff to identify and use OPB in clinical practice. The result is a book which presents clinicians and clinical academics with both a practical and theoretical understanding of OPB. In addition, it provides stimulus for empirical research and further conceptual and theoretical refinement of the OPB framework.
