Summary:

Effective assessment and treatment of offenders is important for reducing the likelihood of further offending. Understanding the processes which initiate and maintain offending behavior is integral to the design and evaluation of appropriate, individually tailored interventions. Forensic Case Formulation describes the principles and application of case formulation specifically for forensic clinical practice.

In this edited volume, contributors review the fundamental aspects of case formulation, including definitions, reliability, and validity. The practical applications of case formulation applied to violence, sexual offenses, personality disorder, and substance abuse are described, and illustrated with case studies. Also covered is the interrelationship between case formulation and risk assessment. Forensic Case Formulation offers rich insights into the use of case formulation with forensic clients.
