Abstract

This paper has described some inhospital strategies for dealing with problems caused by the delayed release of forensic patients. It is hoped that the paper will stimulate others to develop creative methods of addressing these problems.

Clinicians working in forensic settings have to be actively aware that their parameters are different from those of other psychiatric hospital settings, with a consequent impact on the treatment relationship. Clinicians must take the unique characteristics of the forensic discharge process into account and proactively develop methods for dealing with this process. To the extent that creative adjustments occur, treatment will be more effective and less stressful for all concerned.
