ABSTRACT

A Strengths Model of violence risk assessment, integrating a strengths-based psychosocial history in mental health recovery and protective factors of violent risk reduction, is proposed to address the concern about overprediction of violence in assessment with forensic mental health patients based on risk factors of violence. A case illustration is presented to demonstrate the Model’s capability to promote a more balanced violence risk assessment and formulate individualized risk management and recovery plan predicated on the person’s strengths and resources. Implications for clinical practice and the potential in research to enhance predictive validity and accuracy in violence risk assessment are discussed.

摘要

提出了暴力风险评估的优势模型，将基于优势的心理社会历史和心理健康恢复以及降低暴力风险的保护因素相结合，以解决对基于法治精神病患者的暴力评估风险过高预测的担忧，该评估是基于暴力风险因素。案例说明了该模型的能力，以促进更均衡的暴力风险评估，并根据个人的长处和资源制定个性化的风险管理和恢复计划。讨论了对临床实践的影响以及在研究中提高暴力风险评估的预测效度和准确性的潜力。
