Women Offenders: The Challenge of Evidence-based Practice in Correctional and Forensic Mental Health Services

Irina Franke, Caroline Logan, Tammi Walker, Juliane Gerth

Over the last 30 years, the landscape of correctional and forensic mental health services has built up a considerable foundation of evidence-based practices. However, most of the research and clinical applications in this field are predominantly focused on male populations, particularly in critical areas such as risk assessment, risk management, and offending behavior interventions. This gendered focus leaves a significant gap in the application of evidence-based practices tailored specifically to women and girls, who represent a unique yet often overlooked cohort within these services. Women offenders present distinct needs and challenges that require more than a mere adaptation of practices designed for men. Addressing these differences is essential for the effective delivery of therapeutic and other preventive interventions in correctional and forensic mental health settings. Furthermore, as the justice system begins to recognize the needs of non-binary and transgender individuals, the lack of specific evidence-based guidance becomes even more pronounced. Current practices for these groups often rely on clinicians' best estimates rather than on solid, researched frameworks. This Research Topic aims to bridge these gaps by highlighting cutting-edge research and practice in correctional and forensic mental health services tailored to women, girls, and non-binary and transgender individuals. We invite submissions of original research, including quantitative and qualitative studies, single case or small N studies, and systematic reviews that address these populations' unique needs. We encourage international colleagues engaged in this important work to submit proposed titles and summaries for consideration. Suggested topics include particularly: - Risk assessment and management tools and their efficacy in understanding and preventing reoffending among women offenders. - Interventions addressing trauma and mental health issues prevalent among incarcerated women. - Studies on the effectiveness of correctional rehabilitation programs for women. - The intersection of mental health, substance abuse, and offending behavior in women and the implications for treatment approaches. - Managing and supporting non-binary and transgender individuals in a binary correctional system. - The role of gender-responsive approaches in reducing recidivism among female offenders. - Implementation of evidence-based practices for women in forensic mental health settings. - Comparative studies on gender practices for women vs. men. - Case studies highlighting successful interventions with non-binary and transgender offenders. - Systematic reviews of existing literature on gender differences in forensic mental health outcomes.

Adolescent Configuration Styles, Parenting and Psychotherapy

A Relational Perspective

Bronagh Starrs

Mental health has become the principal concern as adolescents struggle with a host of issues such as anxiety, academic pressures, gender, substances, social media, complicated family compositions and a vulnerable planet. This book provides psychotherapists with a clear theoretical understanding and practical application for navigating the increasingly complex adolescent experience as young people adjust and respond to the present- day world. Starrs presents a contemporary understanding of adolescence, identifying three principal character styles and offering experience- near descriptions of the modernday adolescent. The author demonstrates how each configuration style in adolescence elicits a predictable response in parents and examines the challenges and dilemmas facing parents in today’s world, highlighting the patterns and pitfalls which often render parental interventions ineffective. Developmentally attuned parenting strategies are outlined, pertaining to each configuration style. The in depth analysis of adolescent process and parental response has implications for the therapeutic encounter. Intervention focuses both on one- to- one work with the adolescent and parental involvement. The complexity of working with adolescents and parents who demonstrate psychological entrenchment is also outlined. This highly readable, original and exceptional contribution is suitable for psychotherapists, allied professionals and parents alike.
