Le résumé fourni par la source
Forensic mental health services (FMHS) seek to alleviate mental illness and reduce the risk of (violent) recidivism, but they may also be understood to be responsible for supporting patients with many other aspects of their often challenging lives. In practice, the task of an inpatient institution such as FMHS is concluded when the patient can transition to outpatient care, a move which is governed by law. Therefore, the practical goals are at least partly set by legal criteria for transition to outpatient care. Using qualitative comparative analysis, this study identifies systematic patterns of rehabilitative needs as assessed by clinicians that differentiate between FMHS patients who are deemed ready for outpatient care and those who are not. It also identifies how such systematic patterns align with legal criteria governing the transition to outpatient care. We find systematic patterns of rehabilitative needs that are associated with being considered ready for outpatient care and that these patterns map meaningfully onto the legislative criteria for forensic psychiatric care in Sweden. Mental health needs, violence risk needs, and needs associated with social functioning all bear on readiness for outpatient care but only in conjunction with one of the other. The results indicate that the transition to forensic outpatient care in Sweden depends on aspects outside the core objectives of non-recidivism and mental health, and rest on efforts by actors external to FMHS. This places high demands on clarity of institutional boundaries and the role of social functioning needs in decisions about compulsory care.
