“…Evaluations of the core community service have shown that offender managers value their training in managing complex behaviour, rates of recall are reduced and compliance of offenders can be increased. In addition, research has shown that better understanding of offenders through psychological formulation has led to offenders accessing services where previously they were at an impasse (Brown et al, ; Bruce et al, ; Clark and Chuan, ; Minoudis et al, 2012a, 2012b, 2013). These studies are small, do not have robust control groups and ultimately do not measure the two main outcomes of reduced reoffending and improved psychological well‐being.…”

“…One regional implementation of this national initiative, the London Pathways Project (LPP), entails the deployment of Clinical and Forensic Psychologists to work with probation officers who have a special interest in personality disorder, jointly working with all frontline probation staff to identify cases with personality disorder, and to offer case formulation, and consultation about case management (Minoudis, Shaw, & Craissati, 2012). The Portman Clinic's Clinical Supervision Project was commissioned by the London Probation Trust as part of LPP to provide specific forums where probation staff could safely reflect on the 'relational and emotional demands' of working with high-risk or challenging offenders.…”

At a time of considerable organisational change within Probation Services, the authors describe a new initiative to offer psychoanalytically-informed clinical supervision to frontline probation officers, linked to the development of a care pathway for offenders with personality disorders. An analysis of feedback forms from supervisors during the first months of this project highlighted the typical countertransference challenges of probation work. In subsequent months, concerns about organisational change were increasingly evident in supervision, possibly amplifying existing concerns about risk, formulation and management of countertransference responses. The complexities of offering containment and supervision to probation officers, at a time when they were anxious about the security of their organisational ‘container’, are explored

“…At the time of this study the implementation of the OPD strategy was still in its infancy and the exact operationalisation of constructs and the procedures around CF (now generally accepted to be through a process of consultation, see e.g. Minoudis, Shaw, & Craissati, 2012) were under development. However, we would therefore argue that the background of our participants was sufficiently close to those who are now in receipt of the CF process, given their diagnosis, location and experience with Probation.…”

IntroductionThe recent UK Government strategy relating to personality-disordered (PD) offenders -the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway -heralds a shift in the management of offenders who are deemed as posing a high risk of high harm to others (Department of Health, 2011;Joseph & Benefield, 2010). The OPD pathway involves the early identification of these offenders (including through a PD Screen in the electronic Offender Assessment System, OASys) and the subsequent provision of a case formulation (CF) by the Offender Manager (OM) 1 -in consultation with a psychologist -in order to develop a pathway plan. ABSTRACT Background:The recent UK Government strategy on high-risk offenders with personality disorders (PD) proposes improved identification of this group, assessment of their treatment needs through case formulation (CF) and the subsequent provision of treatment pathways. Little is known about service user and carer views on this strategy. Aims/Hypotheses: This study sought to identify the views of personality-disordered (PD) offenders and carers on the proposed role of Probation staff in CF. Methods: Three focus groups were carried out, two with service users and one with carers, with a total of 10 participants overall. Results: Five themes emerged: 'power' , 'conflicting roles' , 'trust' , 'building a relationship through consistency of care' and 'hope and possibility' . Conclusions/Practical implications: Offenders and carers were sceptical regarding the proposed role of Offender Manager (OMs) in CF and this could pose a potential barrier to the successful implementation of the strategy.
