Amplifying Global South Leadership in Psychiatric Education: Strategies for Equity, Capacity, and Presence
Enhancing Pre-Treatment Motivation Improves Forensic Mental Health Outcomes
Despite evidence that psychological treatments benefit from pre-treatment intervention, there remains no published research on the value of including a pre-treatment intervention in forensic mental health settings. The present study aimed to address this gap by examining the effects of adding a brief motivational preparatory program (MPP) to standard forensic psychiatric care. The MPP was based on hope theory and motivational interviewing within …
Clinical and public safety risks associated with cannabis legalization and frequency of cannabis use among forensic mental health patients
Cannabis use among those with SMI is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Results from this study suggest that the mental health burdens associated with cannabis use have risen in terms of delayed clinical recovery and progress through the forensic system since legalization
Forensic psychiatry patients, services, and legislation in Nunavut and Greenland
Circumpolar regions face unique challenges in establishing and maintaining mental health care systems, including forensic psychiatry services. The scarcity of data and lack of evidence concerning the forensic psychiatry patient (FPP) populations of Nunavut and Greenland exacerbates the challenges of informing best practices and healthcare planning. By comparing the prevalence of forensic psychiatry patients, the mental health care services, and t…

Individuals who engage in criminal behavior for which they are found not criminally responsible (NCR) may be at increased vulnerability to experience moral pain and, in extreme circumstances, moral injury after regaining insight into the consequences of their behavior. Yet, almost no research exists characterizing the nature, severity, or impact of moral pain in this population. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine forensic psychia…
Emotional distress among parent caregivers of adolescents with sickle cell disease: Association with patients and caregivers variables
Evidence suggests that impairment in caregiver wellbeing can alter the quality of care in children with sickle cell disease. We examined 121 parent caregivers of adolescents with sickle cell disease for emotional distress and disruptions to caregiver lifestyle and interests. Participants were predominantly mothers 92(76%) with mean age, 43.59 ( SD = 6.39) years. Four in every ten caregivers had emotional distress, and this was predicted by freque…
Short‐term clinical risk assessment and management: Comparing the Brockville Risk Checklist and Hamilton Anatomy of Risk Management
The current article aims to examine the performance of two brief, dynamic risk measures – the Brockville Risk Checklist (BRC4) and one of two versions of the Hamilton Anatomy of Risk Management [HARM‐FV and electronic HARM‐FV (eHARM‐FV)] – scored at regular clinical case conferences for forensic psychiatric patients in two different settings. The eHARM represents a first‐in‐class dynamic risk assessment tool using data analytics. Two studies are …
