Working with people who have criminal convictions for endangering others is certainly challenging. The place of psychiatric or psychological intervention is still uncertain but for some people, for example those who have a background of physical or sexual abuse, it seems reasonable to provide them with access to interventions that seem to benefit those who do not have such convictions. The dangerous and severe personality disorder (DSPD) system provides an environment to do this. However, if it is ever to be successful in enabling future safe community placements, it has to address issues of stigmatisation.

Abstract

Working with people who have criminal convictions for endangering others is certainly challenging. The place of psychiatric or psychological intervention is still uncertain but for some people, for example those who have a background of physical or sexual abuse, it seems reasonable to provide them with access to interventions that seem to benefit those who do not have such convictions. The dangerous and severe personality disorder (DSPD) system provides an environment to do this. However, if it is ever to be successful in enabling future safe community placements, it has to address issues of stigmatisation.
