The purpose of this paper is to gain an in-depth view into how participants perceived their experience of engaging in an enhanced Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS), which is a part of the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway based within the community.,Five participants were interviewed. They were at different points of engagement with the service. Interviews were taped, transcribed and analysed using the grounded theory methodology.,Participants were able to provide in-depth reflections about their experiences at the service. The main issues centred upon “managing fragile relationships” and “an emerging self”. Subcategories linked to managing fragile relationships were: “letting people in and keeping them away”; “surviving the ruptures”; and “treating me like a person”. Subcategories linked to an emerging self were: “readiness to change” and “making new connections”.,This study focused upon one enhanced IIRMS and findings are not necessarily generalisable to other services within the OPD pathway, although themes are likely to resonate for those leaving custody with complex interpersonal difficulties.,This study has provided access to participants’ perspectives on engaging with an IIRMS. Many factors impact upon the individual’s journey, which is central to the relational approach underpinning the pathway.,The findings have important messages for service providers and commissioners and crucially service user perspectives have been obtained that are integral to future development of the OPD pathway. The findings are also relevant for released prisoners attempting to reintegrate within the community.

关系脆弱性，发展和新兴自我：在OPD途径中参与IIRMS的服务用户观点

本文的目的是深入了解参与者如何看待他们参与增强型密集干预和风险管理服务（IIRMS）的经验，这是犯罪分子人格障碍（OPD）途径的一部分，社区。，对五名参与者进行了采访。他们在与服务接触的不同时间点。使用扎根的理论方法对采访进行录音，转录和分析。参与者能够对他们在服务中的经历进行深入的思考。主要问题集中在“管理脆弱的关系”和“新兴的自我”上。与管理脆弱关系相关的子类别是：“让人们进入并远离他们”；“幸免于破裂”；和“像对待一个人一样对待我”。与新兴自我相关的子类别为：“准备改变”和“建立新的联系”。这项研究的重点是增强的IIRMS，研究结果不一定能推广到OPD途径中的其他服务，尽管主题可能会引起那些因人际交往困难而被羁押的人产生共鸣。这项研究为参与者提供了参与IIRMS的观点。影响个人旅程的因素很多，这是关系途径基础的核心。研究结果为服务提供者和专员提供了重要信息，并且至关重要的是，获得了服务使用者的观点，这些观点对OPD途径的未来发展至关重要。这些发现也与试图重新融入社区的释放囚犯有关。这项研究侧重于增强的IIRMS，尽管主题可能会因监护权而面临复杂人际交往的人引起共鸣，但研究结果不一定能推广到OPD途径中的其他服务。该研究为参与者提供了与参与者互动的观点。 IIRMS。影响个人旅程的因素很多，这是关系途径基础的核心。研究结果为服务提供者和专员提供了重要信息，并且至关重要的是，获得了服务使用者的观点，这些观点对于OPD途径的未来发展必不可少。这些发现也与试图重新融入社区的释放囚犯有关。这项研究侧重于一项增强的IIRMS，尽管主题可能会因监护权而面临复杂人际交往的人引起共鸣，但研究结果不一定能推广到OPD途径中的其他服务。该研究为参与者提供了与参与者互动的观点。 IIRMS。影响个人旅程的因素很多，这是关系途径基础的核心。研究结果为服务提供者和专员提供了重要信息，并且至关重要的是，获得了服务使用者的观点，这些观点对于OPD途径的未来发展必不可少。这些发现也与试图重新融入社区的释放囚犯有关。
