Description

Assessing Risk: A Relational Approach offers a novel framework for understanding and managing risks related to violence and sexual offending. Drawing on their experience working with high-risk individuals, the authors provide a comprehensive model of risk that incorporates mainstream empirical research, threat assessment, developmental psychopathology, attachment theory, and a relational model derived from psychoanalysis. This approach highlights the significance of childhood development in understanding violent and sexually violent acts, as well as the complicated interpersonal processes involved in managing individuals with a propensity for violent enactment. By understanding these dynamic processes between people, professionals can enhance their capacity to make thorough risk formulations and manage risk in a comprehensive and effective way. The book is designed to be practical and useful for mental health and criminal justice practitioners working with risky individuals, providing them with the skills and knowledge needed to assess and manage risk in a thorough and effective manner.
