Capacity to give informed consent in patients with severe mental disorder in different treatment settings
Patients with severe psychiatric disorders, especially in forensic settings, encounter unique challenges in understanding and providing informed consent. These challenges stem from both individual cognitive or clinical impairments and the institutional context, such as coercive environments and complex legal-ethical frameworks. Our findings highlight the need for setting-sensitive communication strategies, legal safeguards, and increased awarenes…
The Role of Social Determinants in Forensic Outcomes of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: A Machine Learning-Supported Cohort Study
Maintaining a healthy social network is a pervasive challenge among individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), profoundly influencing mental health outcomes and social functioning. While social adversities such as social isolation may not be a direct cause of criminal behavior, they may act as a significant risk factor. Previous results from offenders with SSD indicated that attention disorder, alogia, crime motivated by ego disturb…
When do drugs trigger criminal behavior? a machine learning analysis of offenders and non-offenders with schizophrenia and comorbid substance use disorder
This research identifies critical factors distinguishing offending patients from non-offending patients with SSD and SUD. Among various risk factors considered in prior research, this study emphasizes treatment-related differences between the groups, indicating the potential for improvement regarding access and maintenance of treatment in this particular population. Further research is warranted to explore the relationship between social isolatio…
Offenders and non-offenders with schizophrenia spectrum disorders: The crime-preventive potential of sufficient embedment in the mental healthcare and support system
Our study aimed to identify the most influential illness-related predictors, distinguishing between FPP and GPP with SSD, thus shedding light on key differences between the two groups. To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare a homogenous sample of FPP and GPP with SSD regarding their symptom severity and course of illness using highly sophisticated statistical approaches with the possibility of evaluating the interplay of all factors…
Offenders and non-offenders with schizophrenia spectrum disorders: Do they really differ in known risk factors for aggression
Introduction Individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) have an elevated risk for aggressive behavior, and several factors contributing to this risk have been identified, e. g. comorbid substance use disorders. From this knowledge, it could be inferred that offender patients show a higher expression of said risk factors than non-offender patients. Yet, there is a lack of comparative studies between those two groups, and findings gath…
Correlates of Social Isolation in Forensic Psychiatric Patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: An Explorative Analysis Using Machine Learning
The detrimental effects of social isolation on physical and mental health are well known. Social isolation is also known to be associated with criminal behavior, thus burdening not only the affected individual but society in general. Forensic psychiatric patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) are at a particularly high risk for lacking social integration and support due to their involvement with the criminal justice system and their…
