“This collection is eye-opening, accessible and pioneering. An invaluable toolkit for anybody interested in criminal justice and mental health.” David Lammy, MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom “Justice is a key concept in medical ethics, with respect for justice identified as one of four principles of bioethics. This timely book provides a welcome review of how systemic injustices can affect patients and staff in forensic services. The editors have brought together a range of rich and thoughtful chapters which should make forensic practitioners question themselves about whether their services always act justly; and how forensic services can be more respectful of diversity and justice.” Dr. Gwen Adshead, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist at Broadmoor Hospital, United Kingdom “An intellectual entertainment was defined by Lord Reith as educating, informing, and entertaining. Science and medicine do not fare well as entertainments, but entertainment and literary criticism do not fare well as nostrums for life-shortening illnesses. In this book, Tomlin and Völlm give fair and equal hearings to both. The reader will benefit from the choice.” Prof. Harry Kennedy, Clinical Professor of Forensic Psychiatry and Executive Clinical Director of National Forensic Mental Health Service in Ireland Diversity and Marginalisation in Forensic Mental Health Care This book explores the ways in which diversity and experiences of marginalisation are present in forensic mental health care settings around the globe and suggests ways of moving forward beyond these. Forensic mental health services provide care for a group of patients who are marginalised in several respects. Many have experienced childhood adversity and abuse, substance use, serious and chronic mental disorders, poor healthcare education or treatment, inadequate educational opportunities, social isolation, and pervasive forms of stigmatisation. On top of these individual experiences of marginalisation, wide diversity exists across patients’ socio-demographic, cultural, and clinical characteristics. Chapters in this book discuss these crucial and often sensitive problems, such as working with transgender prisoners, the impact of incarceration for children from non-white backgrounds, cultural and linguistic diversity in forensic settings, and more. Combining global perspectives, current evidence and case studies, this book will be of interest to patients, carers, practitioners, researchers, and students of forensic mental health. Jack Tomlin is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Greenwich, United Kingdom. He has studied, taught, and researched crime and mental health in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany. Birgit Völlm is Professor of Forensic Psychiatry and Director of the Hospital of Forensic Psychiatry at Rostock University Medical Center. She is also Chair of the Forensic Section of the World Psychiatric Association. International Perspectives on Forensic Mental Health A Routledge Book Series Edited by Patricia Zapf Palo Alto University The goal of this series is to improve the quality of health care services in forensic and correctional settings by providing a forum for discussing issues and disseminating resources related to policy, administration, clinical practice, and research. The series addresses topics such as mental health law; the organization and administration of forensic and/or correctional services for persons with mental disorders; the development, implementation and evaluation of treatment programs and interventions for individuals in civil and criminal justice settings; the assessment and management of violence risk, including risk for sexual violence and family violence; and staff selection, training, and development in forensic and/or correctional systems. The book series will consider proposals for both monographs and edited works on these and related topics, with special consideration given to proposals that promote evidence- based best practices and that are relevant to international audiences. Workbooks and manuals targeted toward practitioners and reflecting evidence-based practice and intervention will also be considered.
