Review

“This is a book which will undoubtedly have wide appeal across the mental health, addictions, forensic and correctional spheres. The editors deserve commendation for making sure that there are contributions from each and every discipline (administration, economics, correctional management, probation, occupational therapy). This is a fine book conceptually, and it has profound implications for the successful assessment and management of violence risk.”
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

Assessing an offender's risk is an important aspect of the forensic clinical psychologist's work. A large number of well-designed studies have been conducted into which features of offenders and offences predict reconviction. This book describes an emergent framework that targets signs of persistent pathology within offenders, or Offence Paralleling Behaviour (OPB). The book describes how these OPBs can be identified and used in risk assessment and treatment planning. The OPB framework is an individualised assessment framework; it presents a useful addition to structured risk assessment methods and formal treatment programming, both of which dominate contemporary forensic psychological practice.

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.
