The second edition of Managing Clinical Risk is an authoritative guide on how to engage in risk assessment and management practice in evidence-based, accountable and effective ways.Over the course of a dozen chapters, each oriented around a brief case study reflecting a different area of risk, practitioners are offered guidance on how to read referrals, how to decide what information matters to their evaluations, how to speak to a person who may be reluctant to engage in an assessment of this kind, how to organise the information they have gathered in order to prepare a risk formulation that will in turn guide risk management, and how to communicate opinions and recommendations in ways that have an impact. The book provides an evidence-based understanding of risk assessment and management in key areas of practice – violence, sexual violence, suicidal and self-harmful behaviour, as well as family and relationship violence, organised criminal and group-based violence, and violent extremism. Practices relevant to understanding violent behaviour in individuals are contrasted with those better suited for working with groups and organisations. How practitioners can take account of the diversity of the clients with whom they work is a central consideration in every chapter. And helping practitioners develop the skills to enable them to formulate risk where there may be multiple areas of concern is a key objective of this book.All the contributors to this updated guide to effective practice are scholar-practitioners – experienced professionals with a track record of writing and teaching about risk assessment and management practice in their respective fields. Therefore, this book contains realistic rather than idealistic representations of the work required to prevent harmful behaviour by the kinds of clients they work with. Together, contributors combine theoretical and research knowledge with a wealth of practical skills, emphasising the collaborative and recovery-focused nature of modern risk management.

This edited book presents international perspectives on the role of mental health problems in understanding and managing the risk of violent extremism. The chapters included in this book address two themes. First, they describe the research findings on the nature and prevalence of the range of mental health problems (psychosis, personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, autism spectrum disorders) in young people and adults who have in the past, committed acts of violence motivated at least in part by extremist ideologies, or who have attempted or threatened such acts, or who for other reasons are thought to be at risk of doing so. Second, the chapters examine what is known about the relationship – or the functional link – between mental health problems and violent extremism. The focus of this book is on clinical practice and understanding the nature of the challenge faced by practitioners and their response to it. It will therefore be of interest to mental health practitioners, service managers and commissioners, and policy makers with a remit to understand and mitigate risk of radicalisation and violent extremism. The chapters in this book were originally published in The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology.

Psykopati har i dagligt tal kommit att förknippas med människor som begår kallblodiga och fasansfulla handlingar, som till exempel seriemord, terrorattacker och bedrägerier i miljonklassen. I den här boken söker vi oss bort från alla sensationsskildringar och ger en professionell men samtidigt lättillgänglig introduktion till psykopati – vad är det och vad kan vi göra åt det?Boken är skriven och redigerad av experter på psykopati med anknytning till Skandinavien. Med utgångspunkt i aktuell forskning undersöker författarna centrala frågor om psykopati, som bland annat hur psykopatiska personlighetsdrag yttrar sig och hur denna personlighetsstörning utvecklas. Boken behandlar också praktiska frågor som hur psykopati skiljer sig från andra psykiska störningar, hur man gör en klinisk bedömning och utredning, vilken roll psykopati spelar i juridiska sammanhang och hur man hanterar och behandlar människor med psykopati.Boken vänder sig till studerande och yrkesaktiva inom psykologi, psykiatri, kriminologi, juridik, socialt arbete och kriminalvård, men också till en intresserad allmänhet som vill veta mer om människor med psykopati.
