Forensic nursing is no longer solely the province of high security environments. Many forensic patients enter or re-enter in-patient care through acute services. This book considers the care of the patient with a forensic problem from the point of view of staff in acute care.

The chapter authors are leading nurse practitioners, researchers and educationalists. There are also important service user contributions.

Subjects covered include: - The use of therapeutic environments - The changing nature of nurse education - Risk assessment, management and managing violence - Risk/ health measurement - Multiprofessional working - Personality disordered patients in acute care - User experiences of transition - Crisis intervention teams and psychiatric intensive care units - Sexuality and gender issues of forensic patients in acute care - Observation and engagement issues - Specific therapeutic interactions and interventions in acute care.
