Traditionally, forensic mental health services have focused on the assessment and treatment of offenders with serious mental disorders. In recent years, there has been growing recognition that forensic clinicians have an important role to play for those offenders who engage in criminal acts driven by psychological or/and social problems, which may, or may not, occur in conjunction with a major mental disorder. This is especially true for specific offenses such as stalking and threatening. This article describes the innovation of the problem behavior model. This model uses a reductionist approach and the nexus between psychiatry and psychology to address the complex phenomena associated with specific problem behaviors that often culminate in offenses. The model is illustrated by describing the development of specialist clinics for the problem behaviors of stalking and threatening.
传统上,法医精神卫生服务一直专注于对患有严重精神障碍的罪犯进行评估和治疗。近年来,人们越来越认识到,对于那些因心理或/和社会问题而实施犯罪行为的罪犯,法医临床医生可以发挥重要作用,这些问题可能与重大精神障碍同时出现,也可能不会。对于诸如跟踪和威胁等特定犯罪行为来说尤其如此。本文描述了问题行为模型的创新之处。该模型采用还原论方法以及精神病学与心理学之间的联系,来处理与特定问题行为相关的复杂现象,这些行为往往最终导致犯罪。通过描述针对跟踪和威胁等问题行为的专科诊所的发展情况来说明该模型。
