Sažetak
The main aim of this study was to establish to what extent does psychosocial treatment, as a part of a complex, multi-component forensic treatment, have an influence on the decrease of future violent behaviour risk in a population of forensic psychiatric patients. We examined 13 patients treated at the Department of Forensic Psychiatry of Psychiatric Hospital Rab in Rab, Croatia. 9 of them were males and 4 of them females, 25–60 years of age. All of them were compulsorily hospitalized because of a committed criminal act connected with violent behaviour. All of them have a diagnosis belonging to the schizophrenic group of diseases with different duration of forensic treatment (from a few months to a few years). During 2010 all of them participated in psychosocial programme workshops once a week, for 6 months. Methods: Violence Risk Screening-10 (V-RISK- 10), subjective measure of the programme was performed at the beginning and at the end of the programme. The Aggression Questionnaire and Daily Spiritual Experience Scale as self- assessment scales were performed at the end of the programme. Results point to a decrease of V-RISK-10 results at the end of the programme in all participants. The interesting observation was that the mentioned results and those on the self-assessment scales did not always correlate positively. We also proved a negative correlation between aggressiveness and spirituality. As a conclusion, we have indications to believe that it is realistic to expect that combining psychosocial treatment with targeted psychopharmacological interventions could lead to a decrease of the risk of future violent behaviour in forensically treated psychiatric patients.
