Summary

Case formulations (CF) have been the cornerstone of effective practice in clinical psychology since the 1950s and now forms one of the core competencies in clinical and forensic training. The use of CFs within forensic settings is becoming more relevant when working with offenders who have experienced significant trauma, suffer from personality disorder, or who have displayed sexually abusive or violent behaviour.By integrating risk relevant information into the CF provides a conceptually robust link between the etiologically development of the problematic behaviour and effective assessment and risk management of violent offenders.In this chapter, we present an etiological framework for understanding risk by integrating a case formulation model to include the use of (static, stable, and acute) actuarial and forensic risk assessment measures as well as protective risk factors.
