Secure Recovery is the first text to tackle the challenge of recovery-oriented mental health care in forensic services and prison-based therapeutic communities in the UK. Recovery as an emergent paradigm in the field of mental health presents a challenge to all services to embrace a new clinical philosophy, but nowhere are the implications more profound than in services that are designed to meet the needs of mental disordered and personality disordered offenders, both men and women. The imperative to balance the requirement to protect the public with managing the risks inherent in meeting the needs of the detained person for rehabilitation requires a high level of skill in clinicians, hospital managers and prison staff guided by coherent and robust service models.
