Advancing forensic psychiatry in Rwanda
BACKGROUND: Following the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda showed remarkable resilience in rebuilding its institutions, particularly within the health sector. The genocide against Tutsi left lasting emotional and psychological trauma, highlighting the urgent need to prioritize mental health in national recovery efforts. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to present the curricula, outcomes and lessons learned from a forensic psychiatry t…
Court-ordered forensic psychiatry treatment in prison
Our findings indicate that criminological characteristics at baseline as well as diagnosis of personality disorders are the main determinants of treatment outcome in our care setting. Inmates with concomitant higher violence risk at baseline and presence of Cluster B personality disorders might benefit the least from court-ordered forensic inpatient psychiatric care in prison
Patterns of admission in forensic units during the Covid-19 pandemic
These data support the idea that, in terms of acute care needs, the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increased needs for acute forensic care that concerned detainees with personality disorders characterized by increased levels of impulsiveness, decreased tolerance to frustrations, loss of control, increased extraversion and frequent SUD comorbidity
Court-ordered inpatient psychiatric care in Switzerland
Introduction In several European countries, offenders with decreased or abolished responsibility and high risk of recidivism due to long-lasting mental disorders are compulsory admitted for court-ordered treatments (COT) that take place in high and medium-security hospitals. As a rule, length of stay in these structures is very long implying major restrictions for the inmate and high societal cost. Despite intensive research, the predictors of le…
Detained Persons Incarcerated for the First Time and Needing Acute Psychiatric Care
Among detained persons, those incarcerated for the first time (FTI: first time incarceration) are known to present long-standing psychological vulnerability but also suffer significant deterioration of their mental health during the first year following imprisonment. Whether the patterns of psychiatric morbidity differ in FTI cases compared to cases with repeated and long term incarceration (RLTI) is still a matter of debate. We examined the soci…
Determinants of Revolving Door in an Acute Psychiatric Ward for Prison Inmates
Among the different types of heavy use of mental health services, frequent inpatient admission in acute care units of individuals unable to return to their usual environment refers to as revolving-door (RD). RD in prisoners is related to increased violence (acted and supported) and suicidal recidivism. We explored the determinants of RD in 200 inmates from the Swiss-French speaking areas who were admitted to the sole acute psychiatric care unit f…
Personality Factors' Impact on the Structural Integrity of Mentalizing Network in Old Age
The mentalizing network (MN) treats social interactions based on our understanding of other people's intentions and includes the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), temporoparietal junction (TPJ), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), precuneus (PC), and amygdala. Not all elders are equally affected by the aging-related decrease of mentalizing abilities. Personality has recently emerged as a strong determinant of functional connectivity in MN areas. How…
