Risk Assessment And Management

Although concerns about violence risk emerge regularly in routine clinical practice, many clinicians feel underprepared to assess and manage violence risk. One problem is that the rich knowledge base underlying violence risk assessment has largely remained in the specialties of forensic psychology and psychiatry, where it has been less familiar to clinicians in general practice. In this chapter we review the legal and ethical parameters that guide clinician appraisals of violence risk, and then we summarize the foundational knowledge and techniques—from both the forensic psychology approach and the emerging field of threat assessment. By integrating basic knowledge and practices from these specialized disciplines, clinicians can more comfortably incorporate violence risk assessment and management into their routine care for patients, better infuse risk assessment into the start of treatment, monitor risk over the course of treatment, and respond appropriately to any threats of violence that emerge.

Risk Assessment Tools

Despite increasing concerns regarding the prevalence of violent behaviour in mainstream mental health settings, the impressive body of forensic research on violence risk assessment has thus far had only limited impact on front-line general mental health practice. The common objection raised by clinicians that risk assessment tools lack utility for clinical practice may contribute to this. The present paper argues that this objection, although understandable, is misplaced. Usage of appropriate, validated risk assessment tools can augment standard clinical approaches in a number of ways. Some of their advantages derive simply from having a well-structured approach, others from consideration of specific kinds of risk factors: ‘static’ and ‘dynamic’. The inappropriate use of tools without a firm evidence base, however, is unlikely to enhance clinical practice significantly.

Patient Violence

Assessing and managing the risk of patient violence is integral to the clinical practice of psychiatry. This chapter reviews the principles governing the assessment of violence risk in psychiatry, discusses clinical practice in this area, and examines the limits of psychiatric violence risk assessment. Assessment involves both the identification of risk and protective factors and a cause-based analysis based on an understanding of the case. Good practice involves the use of multiple sources of information and the integration of information gleaned from the identification of correlates of violence and a cause-based analysis. Empirical data on the limits to the predictive accuracy that can be achieved suggest that information concerning risk will usually be one of many pieces of information governing the management of a case.
