Wahan Wanis, MD, FRCPC, Conference Chair, Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission
Last year’s conference in Victoria, BC was a great success. The Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission has once again joined with Youth Forensic Psychiatric Services, the University of British Columbia and the Alberta Mental Health Board to present a conference covering topics that are pertinent to everyday practice, and fall under Best Practices Guidelines. In addition to plenary sessions, poster presentations and workshops, this year’s conference features a number of teaching seminars related to risk assessment, specifically the START, “Treatment of Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders”, and a model for assessing malingering in a medicolegal context. Other highlights include plenary sessions by Madam Justice Gail Dickson, Dr. Gutheil, and Dr. J. Campbell. The conference workshops cover an array of presentations from broad topics to sub-specialized areas, “Born Behind Bars”and “Using Virtual Reality to Assess Sexual Interest” are but some of the topics. I hope you can join us in taking advantage of this wonderful learning opportunity.
Plenary Session
«
The Provision of Forensic Psychiatric Services in Criminal Proceedings: The Tasks, Its Limits and Its Challenges Madam Justice Gail Dickson, Supreme Court of British Columbia
Madam Justice Gail M. Dickson was appointed to the Supreme Court of British Columbia on January 8, 2007. Prior to her appointment, Madam Justice Dickson was one of the two founding partners of Dickson, Murray, a Vancouver litigation firm. She received a BA and Bachelor of Law degree in 1981 from the University of Saskatchewan, and a Master of Law degree from Cambridge University in 1989. Called to the bar of British Columbia in 1982 and the bar of Saskatchewan in 1984, she was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1998 and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers in 2002. She is the former alternate chairperson of the British Columbia Review Board and a member of the editorial board for Introducing Evidence at Trial: A British Columbia Handbook. When she was a practicing lawyer, Madam Justice Dickson acted for both the Crown and defence in criminal matters and a wide variety of clients in civil proceedings.
Summary: A view from the bench on how forensic psychiatric witnesses and other service providers can most helpfully fulfill their roles within the Canadian court system. From Risk Research to Risk Reduction: Understanding Youth Aggression, Violence and Antisocial Behavior Marlene M. Moretti, PhD University Professor, Department of Psychology Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC Summary: Aggressive, violent and antisocial behavior in youth is a serious mental health issue with high social and forensic service costs. Several early intervention programs are available, but few target these problems in high-risk adolescents. This presentation summarizes new findings on a range of risk factors related to the development of aggression and violence in adolescent girls and boys. The development, evaluation and dissemination of a manualized, 10-session group intervention for parents and caregivers of teens at high-risk is presented. Results support the effectiveness of this brief intervention in reducing risk, enhancing caregiver satisfaction and efficacy in parenting, and reducing caregiver aggression toward teens. Challenges of research in the ‘real world’ and knowledge translation are discussed and key questions for future research are summarized.
Training Seminars Preparing Truthful Ethical Sound Forensic Report & Testimony Thomas G. Gutheil, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry , Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Summary: The presentation will address basic principles of report preparation and writing. Participants will learn approaches to forensic report writing, preparing and defending your ethical report.
Advances in Lethality Assessment for Risk of Intimate Partner Femicide and Femicide-Suicide Jacquelyn C. Campbell, PhD, RN, FAAN, Anna D. Wolf Chair, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Baltimore, Maryland, USA Summary: There is increased recognition of the need for assessing the risk of re-assault and risk of homicide in cases of intimate partner violence. Several new instruments and approaches have been developed and validated to address this gap. This plenary will give an overview of validity data supporting several of these instruments, including the Danger Assessment. Particular attention will be paid to assessing the risk of intimate partner homicide-suicide, since this represents a significant proportion of cases and the form of intimate partner homicide where perpetrators are often seen in the mental health care system before the event.

A) The Short Term Assessment of Risk & Treatability (START): Introductory Training in Assessing Risks & Strengths (7-hour Training Seminar) Johann Brink, MB, ChB, BA Hons, FCPsych (SA), FRCP, Director, Clinical Services & Scientific Director, Forensic Psychiatry Services Commission, BC Mental Health and Addiction Services, Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia Tonia Nicholls, PhD, Senior Research Fellow, Forensic Psychiatry Services Commission, BC Mental Health and Addiction Services Sarah Desmarais, MA, Research Assistant, Department of Research, Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission, BC Mental Health and Addiction Services, Coquitlam, British Columbia Summary: Physicians, nurses, social workers and other frontline health care staff are routinely called upon to assess the risk for violent behaviour in hospital as well as in community-based patients. In this capacity they are required to make decisions and provide recommendations regarding the admission, discharge, and management of persons who may pose a risk of violence to self or others. This remains a challenging task, with divergent approaches and instruments available to assist with these decisions. Traditional approaches have focused largely on individual vulnerabilities while neglecting to consider clients’ strengths or external/environmental triggers, and have been concerned mainly with long-term risk to others. This workshop will provide training in the “Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability” (START; Webster, Martin, Brink, Nicholls, & Middleton, 2004), a 20-item clinical guide for the dynamic assessment of seven risk domains (violence to others, suicide, self-harm, victimization, substance use, unauthorized leave and self-neglect). The START represents a refinement in the assessment of dynamic risk factors in that it provides for the differential coding of both patient strengths and vulnerabilities while allowing for the recording of case-specific risk factors. The START is intended for interdisciplinary use and each of the 20 items is assessed according to succinct descriptions provided in the published manual. We will review the theoretical and empirical literature that bears on the development of the START and supports its utility as a clinical evaluation and planning guide and as a research tool. We will describe the development, design, format and implementation of the START and provide results from ongoing research. The workshop will provide basic training on the START, focusing on how it can inform decision-making regarding risk to self and others on the seven risk-related domains. The START is intended for use with adults with mental, personality and substance related disorders and is expected to have relevance to correctional, civil, and forensic patients in the community or institutional settings. - Continued
Continued - A) The Short Term Assessment of Risk & Treatability (START): Introductory Training in Assessing Risks & Strengths (7-hour Training Seminar) Learning Objectives: At the end of the workshop, participants will: 1) understand the role of static and dynamic factors in risk assessment and management; 2) be familiar with the role of strengths and vulnerabilities in case management; and 3) be familiar with how to administer, interpret and implement START assessments (i.e., scoring individual items, communicating final risk decisions).
B) Treatment of Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders Michael F. Caldwell, PsyD Senior Staff Psychologist, Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center, Madison, Wisconsin Summary: This workshop will focus on the treatment model developed at the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC) in Madison, Wisconsin. The MJTC program works with the most unmanageable juveniles held in secured custody in the State of Wisconsin. This workshop will describe how the treatment model attempts to engender a sense of investment in the treatment process and to erode defiant attitudes toward convention in the treated youth. This is accomplished with a behavioral system that is highly transparent and predictable for the youth, that relies on rapid rewards for positive behavior, rapid escalation of rewards for consistent positive behavior, and enables the youth to recover easily from periods of poor compliance. The program also emphasizes data-driven treatment decision making and continuous assessment of program outcomes. Examples of the materials and processes used in the treatment model will be described. The outcomes of MJTC program have been evaluated in a series of studies. The workshop will describe a sample of the studies that have demonstrated lower violent recidivism rates, substantial cost benefits, and treatment-related changes in features related to psychopathic personality.
C) Satan did it…or did she? – A Biopsychosocial Model for Assessing Malingering In Medico-legal Contexts Hugues Herve, PhD, R Psych The Ekman Group - Training Division Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission BC Mental Health & Addiction Services Port Coquitlam, BC Barry Cooper, PhD, R Psych The Ekman Group - Training Division Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission BC Mental Health & Addiction Services Port Coquitlam, BC Summary: Due to clear secondary gains, malingering illnesses, be medical or psychological, are not uncommonly seen in
medical-legal contexts. Unfortunately, the research indicates that the systematic assessment and accurate detection of malingering remains problematic in clinical settings, resulting in both false positive and negative errors. Such errors can have devastating consequences, including personal, social and financial for those involved. Nonetheless, despite the increasing attention to this topic in recent years, particularly with regard to test development there is still no agreed upon approach available to inform clinical practice, let alone one that is systematic, comprehensive and evidenced-based in nature. To this end, the present workshop introduces a biopsychosocial model for the assessment of malingering, an approach that is based on the latest research and has demonstrated utility in a variety of medical-legal contexts. Learning Objectives:
In this workshop, participants will
be introduced to: (a) a comprehensive model for assessing malingering of mental health problems, one that stresses predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating biopsychosocial factors involved in mental illness; (b) a research-based practical approach to evaluating truthfulness in interview; (c) and a stepwise approach for collecting, integrating and presenting mental health data specific to this topic, including file documentation, collateral information, psychometric data, observations and self-report. Guidelines for integrating this approach throughout the assessment process will be suggested (i.e., from screening to in-depth examinations) and implications for a variety of medical-legal contexts will be discussed.
