  • Collecting service use data for economic evaluation in DSPD populations: development of the Secure Facilities Service Use Schedule.
    British Journal of Psychiatry, 2007
    Co-Authors: Barbara Barrett, Sarah Byford
    Abstract:

    Background Economic evaluation of the Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder Programme is essential to ensure value for money. The collection of individual-level service use information is crucial to any such evaluation, but the best way to collect these data in Secure facilities is unclear. Aims To develop a method for the collection of individual-level service use information for prisoners/patients in Secure facilities. Methods Services provided within Secure facilities were identified through examination of Facility and policy literature, and discussions with managerial and clinical staff. Appropriate methods of measuring the quantities of services used were then explored and a new research tool capable of capturing all relevant services was developed and pilot tested. Results The Secure Facilities Service Use Schedule (SF-SUS) records service use information from records and is capable of capturing data on the use of all individual-level services provided within a Secure Facility plus external services commonly accessed by occupants. Discussion The SF-SUS is able to collect meaningful individual-level service use information for the economic evaluation of services provided within Secure facilities.

  • The reliability and validity of resident, staff and peer reports of bullying in young offender institutions
    Psychology Crime & Law, 1997
    Co-Authors: Anne Connell, David P. Farrington
    Abstract:

    Abstract This research compares resident, peer and staff reports of bullying and victimization in one open Facility and one Secure Facility for young offenders. The prevalence of bullies and victims was higher according to resident reports (self-reports) than according to peer or staff reports. There was significant agreement between residents, peers, and staff in identifying bullies and victims. The majority of bullies and victims identified by peers and/or staff were also identified by self-reports. Making the plausible assumption that bullies and victims tend to be concealed, it is concluded that self-reports (in the context of an individual interview) provide the most reliable and valid information about bullies and victims in young offender institutions. Hence, anti-bullying strategies should be based on self-report data.

  • Treatment of SVPs and Reintegration into Community Settings: New Jersey’s Special Treatment Unit as an Exemplar
    Sexually Violent Predators: A Clinical Science Handbook, 2019
    Co-Authors: Glenn Ferguson, Jackson Tay Bosley
    Abstract:

    This chapter summarizes the evolution of New Jersey’s response to the SVP statute (N.J.S.A. 30:4-27.24 et seq.). The authors are the first Clinical Director of the Facility and one of the first treatment team psychologists who were eventually assigned the task of creating aftercare services for these civilly committed individuals as they return to the community. This chapter highlights not only what was expected to meet the legal requirements of the NJSVPA but also what was required to implement a well-considered intensive treatment program for high-risk sexual offenders. Probably most innovative was its focus on preparing residents for release from the Secure Facility and gradual reentry into society through a graduated conditional release procedure.

  • Behavioral Treatments.
    Current treatment options in neurology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Gary J. Tucker, Richard B. Stuart
    Abstract:

    The central nervous system is the source of all behaviors and emotions; it also mediates the individual's relationship with the environment. Consequently, when the central nervous system is disrupted by neurologic disease, there are frequently many concomitant emotional and behavioral disturbances, as well as conflicts with the environment and the people surrounding the patient. Patients are often unaware that these maladaptive interactions often determine the nature and quality of care that they receive from their caregivers. The aggressive or wandering brain-damaged patient often ends up in a Secure Facility, and the apathetic patient often becomes forgotten. Although psychopharmacologic agents can moderate some of the behavioral and emotional symptoms of brain damage, these medications have side effects such as sedation and falls, among others, and they often interfere with the metabolism of medications that patients are already taking. Behavior therapy is an excellent supplement to, if not alternative for, medications to control symptomatic behaviors associated with brain damage for the following reasons: 1) behavioral treatment is nonpharmacologic, and, therefore, there are no drug interactions or side effects in patients with neurologic illnesses; 2) behavioral treatments can be designed to treat specific symptoms, and, by mitigating them, improve the quality of life of the patient and the caregivers; 3) the success of behavioral treatments can usually be quantified as the target behaviors are pinpointed and measured before, during, and after the behavioral interventions; 4) behavioral treatments are usually cost effective, because they can be devised by psychologists, but administered by direct daily caregivers and family members; and 5) behavioral treatments administered by caregivers give the caregivers a sense of participation and control of the treatment. Reports of the effectiveness of behavioral treatments support their inclusion as an important complementary component in the care of individuals with neurologic disorders as well as the milieu of institutions that care for the brain damaged.
