There is little evidence on the effectiveness of arts therapy interventions in forensic settings. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of arts therapy in evoking emotional vulnerability in forensic patients. Participants received drama, art or psychomotor therapy. For each therapy, we used a 5-session protocol that consisted of an introduction session, an assessment session, an intervention session that deliberately aimed to evoke emotional vulnerability, a regular intervention session, and a wrap-up session. Emotional vulnerability was assessed with the Mode Observation Scale and the Schema Mode Inventory, which is a self-report. Participants showed a significant increase in emotional vulnerability in both intervention sessions. The self-report ratings indicated that there was no significant change in vulnerable emotions. Our hypothesis was only partially supported. The findings provide some support for the effectiveness of arts therapy interventions in forensic patients.

关于法医环境中艺术疗法干预效果的证据很少。这项研究的目的是探讨艺术疗法对法医患者情绪脆弱性的影响。参与者接受了戏剧，艺术或心理运动疗法。对于每种疗法，我们使用5个疗程的方案，其中包括一个简介疗程，一个评估疗程，一个故意旨在引起情绪脆弱性的干预疗程，一个定期的干预疗程和一个总结性疗程。情绪脆弱性通过自我观察的模式观察量表和模式模式清单进行评估。参加者在两次干预中均表现出明显的情绪脆弱性增加。自我报告的评分表明，脆弱的情感没有显着变化。我们的假设仅得到部分支持。这些发现为法医干预中法医干预的有效性提供了一些支持。
