Psychosocial support and cognitive deficits in adults with schizophrenia

METHOD: We interviewed 150 severely mentally ill outpatients and a matched group of healthy controls using a semi-structured interview. This recorded incidents of…

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study investigating demographic and cultural characteristics of a population o…

Forensic Psychotherapy for Adults with Learning Disabilities
People with learning disabilities are at high risk of behavioural problems, including offending behaviours. Psychoanalytically based forensic psychotherapy is a recognized therapeutic option for offenders without disabilities. However, its application to people with learning disabilities who offend or are at risk of offending has largely been neglected. In this paper, after clarifying the concept of learning disability we look at its traditional …
X-treme Group Analysis
Setting up analytic psychotherapy groups on secure forensic wards is a complicated and arduous process. Once established, clinical work is even more difficult because emotional contact with forensic patients places extreme pressure on the countertransference. We review aspects of the psychoanalytic theory of countertransference related to increasingly serious levels of psychopathology in order to clarify why this should be so. Examples of clinica…
