ABSTRACT To examine the potential of the Five-Variable Psychiatric Screener (V-5) to serve as an embedded symptom validity test (SVT). In Study 1, 43 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to a control or an experimental malingering condition. In Study 2, 150 undergraduate students were recruited to examine the cognitive and emotional sequelae of self-reported trauma history. The classification accuracy of the V-5 was computed against the Inventory of Problems (IOP-29), a free-standing SVT. In Study 1, the V-5 was a poor predictor of experimental malingering status, but produced a high overall classification against the IOP-29. In Study 2, the V-5 was a stronger predictor of IOP-29 than self-reported trauma history. Results provide preliminary support for the utility of the V-5 as an embedded SVT. Given the combination of growing awareness of the need to determine the credibility of subjective symptom report using objective empirical methods and systemic pressures to abbreviate assessment, research on SVTs within rapid assessment instruments can provide practical psychometric solutions to this dilemma.

ABSTRACT Several previous studies have shown an overrepresentation of reading and writing difficulties among patients in psychiatric clinics. However, few studies have conducted reading interventions aimed at improving patients’ reading ability. The present study aimed to investigate the sustainability of a previously implemented reading intervention one year after completion. Furthermore, the purpose was to examine how patients perceived a reading intervention and how they experienced their previous schooling. Participants comprised 20 patients who had previously undergone 13 sessions of reading interventions. The results showed that the patients had maintained the same reading level they had immediately after the interventions ended. Most participants had experienced troublesome schooling. However, they perceived reading interventions as a rewarding and meaningful activity at the institutions. The results are discussed concerning social, pedagogical, and psychological aspects.

ABSTRACT Violence risk assessment and management is central to the lives of forensic mental health service users. Whilst studies have explored mental health professionals’ experiences of violence risk assessment and management, research regarding service user views is largely absent from the literature. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the current study interviewed seven forensic mental health service users in low secure mental health inpatient settings about their experiences of violence risk assessment and management. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. Results identified four superordinate themes; Who is this for?, Power, Misunderstood, and Moving Forward. The results are discussed in relation to existing literature. Clinical implications and future research directions are then considered.

ABSTRACT Violence risk assessment and management is at the forefront of the work of mental health professionals in forensic mental health settings. Staff working in these settings are presented with many challenges. This review explores how mental health professionals working in forensic mental health settings experience the violence risk assessment and management process. A systematic mixed studies review utilizing PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Sixteen studies were identified for inclusion. Data from qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies were analyzed together using a data-based convergent synthesis design. Using a best-fit framework synthesis approach, existing data was built upon to allow for a comprehensive qualitative overview of mental health professionals’ experiences. The themes which emerged were: The Patient as a Person; The Caring Relationship; Multidisciplinary Working; and Reliance on Clinical Intuition. Results, clinical implications, and future research directions are discussed.

ABSTRACT The role of psychopathy in Asian samples has not been well reported. This study tests the ability of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) to predict sexual recidivists compared to nonsexual recidivists. A total of 451 Korean male high-risk offenders were assessed by the PCL-R in 2005, and 445 offenders recidivated by 2016. Factor 1 (interpersonal-affective) and facet 2 (affective) showed the highest effect size of 0.53 in a comparison between sexual recidivists (n = 201) and nonsexual recidivists (n = 244). We further tested four facets for different forms of recidivism using one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Sexual recidivists scored significantly higher in facet 2 than misdemeanors (n = 59, d = 0.79), robbers (n = 31, d = 0.58), burglars (n = 33, d = 0.57), and murderers (n = 65, d = 0.54). The highest effect sizes were found in facet 2 (d = 0.79) to separate sex offenders from misdemeanors, followed by Factor 1 (d = 0.75) and facet 1 (d = 0.73) to separate sex offenders from burglars. Finally, hierarchical binary logistic regression revealed that only facet 2 (27.3%) predicted sexual recidivism, indicating the importance of personality traits over behavioral traits in predicting sexual violence.
精神病在亚洲样本中的作用尚未得到很好的报道。本研究比较了修订后的心理变态量表(PCL-R)对性累犯和非性累犯的预测能力。2005年，通过PCL-R对451名男性高危性犯罪者进行了评估，到2016年为止，共有445名犯罪者被再犯。在性累犯(n = 201)和非性累犯(n = 244)之间的比较中，因子1(人际情感)和因子2(情感)的效应量最高，为0.53。我们进一步测试了四个方面的不同形式的累犯使用单向多变量方差分析(MANOVA)。性惯犯在第二方面的得分明显高于轻罪(n = 59, d = 0.79)、抢劫犯(n = 31, d = 0.58)、窃贼(n = 33, d = 0.57)和杀人犯(n = 65, d = 0.54)。在区分性犯罪者和轻罪方面，因子2的效应值最高(d = 0.79)，其次是因子1 (d = 0.75)和因子1 (d = 0.73)，分别用于区分性犯罪者和入室行窃。最后，层次二元逻辑回归分析显示，只有面向2(27.3%)预测性再犯，表明人格特质在预测性暴力方面比行为特质更重要。

ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 restrictions on social relationships of forensic psychiatric outpatients with preexisting social network-related problems. Data from 70 participants of an ongoing randomized controlled trial, investigating the effectiveness of a social network intervention among forensic psychiatric outpatients, were examined. Demographic characteristics, quality of social relationships, loneliness, and social support were assessed at baseline. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an additional questionnaire that contained quantitative and qualitative questions regarding the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on social relationships was administered. Participants showed high levels of loneliness and dissatisfaction with social relationships before COVID-19. The majority of forensic outpatients perceived no changes on social relationships due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Qualitative results revealed some participants already lived socially isolated. Negative changes on social relationships were related to deterioration of social contacts, interruption of daytime activities, changed mental health care, and well-being. Emotional loneliness predicted deteriorated general and romantic relationships. These findings suggest that social relationships of forensic patients with preexisting social network-related problems remain of concern throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT The neuropsychological assessment of individuals with a mental disorder and deemed to be a ‘grave and immediate’ risk of harm to others admitted to one UK high-secure psychiatric care (HSPC) hospital makes an important contribution to the formulation of their difficulties and treatment needs. Included within the assessments is the DEX S questionnaire, assessing the subjective experience of any executive dysfunction (ED). An examination of 205 DEX S profiles suggests ED is common, particularly among younger individuals and with no difference between those who self-report a history of head injuries. Whilst a non-clinical non-forensic classification system suggested 43.9% of individuals fall into a ‘high deficit’ category and 24.4% fall into a ‘moderate deficit’ category, a HSPC classification system suggests higher thresholds, with 22.4% and 33.2% falling in ‘high deficit’ and ‘moderate deficit’ categories, respectively. Frequently endorsed items are associated with difficulties understanding others unless things are kept simple and straightforward, acting without thinking, expressing emotions, feeling restless, and problems sitting still for any length of time and being easily distracted. Results are discussed in terms of increasing awareness of ED among those involved in the care of mentally disordered offenders, cognitive remediation and the potential for a forensic psychiatric version of the DEX.

ABSTRACT Based on a functional analysis of aggressive behavior, the present study investigates the psychological determinants of state anger and aggression in violent prison inmates. Comparing psychiatric forensic inpatients with violent prison inmates revealed considerable overlap in these determinants between both samples. Next, the personality traits of neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, hostility, and anger were studied in explaining the violent prison inmates’ state anger and aggression. Data were obtained from 102 male inmates prisoned for four years or more because of a serious violent crime. Linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between the patients’ characteristics of anger and aggression. It was found that neuroticism, trait anger, and hostility contributed to state anger. Furthermore, the main factor contributing to aggression was state anger. Implications of the results for reducing anger and aggression in violent prison inmates are discussed.
