Description
Trauma-Informed Forensic Practice by Phil Willmot and Lawrence Jones is a comprehensive guide to integrating trauma-informed practice into forensic services. Written by experts with firsthand experience in forensic settings, the book provides a compassionate framework for understanding the links between trauma and offending. It offers practical guidance on working with individuals who have experienced trauma, including those with intellectual disabilities and military veterans, as well as strategies for addressing self-harm and substance use. The authors also explore organisational aspects of delivering trauma-informed care, essential for staff working in challenging environments. This book is ideal for forensic practitioners seeking to develop their own trauma-informed practice or for students looking for an accessible introduction to the subject.
