Abstract

This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Forensic Clinical Psychology (ForenClinPsyD) at the University of Birmingham and comprises of two volumes.

Volume I consists of a systematic literature review, an empirical paper and press release. The literature review explores the portrayal of schizophrenia in the media. The empirical paper presents a qualitative study exploring the experiences of stigma and discrimination amongst individuals with forensic histories and mental health difficulties who live in the community. The two press releases provide a brief and accessible summary of the systematic review and empirical paper.

Volume II consists of five forensic clinical practice reports (FCPRs). FCPR1 presents a cognitive and systemic formulation of a 37-year-old female forensic patient with anxiety. FCPR2 is a service evaluation exploring the accuracy and quality of clinical records in relation to risk within a secure hospital. FCPR3 reports a single-case experimental design used to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT with a 17-year-old male with anger management difficulties in a secure unit. FCPR4 reports a case study of a 24-year-old male forensic patient diagnosed with intellectual disabilities. FCPR5 presents the case of an adult male detained within a prison setting.
