Psykopati er i daglig tale blevet synonymt med mennesker, der begår koldblodige og grusomme handlinger som fx seriemord, terror og finansielt underslæb i millionklassen.Denne bog går bag om de sensationelle fremstillinger og giver en faglig, men alment tilgængelig introduktion til psykopati – hvad er det, og hvad vi kan gøre ved det?Bogen er skrevet og redigeret af eksperter i psykopati med tilknytning til Skandinavien. Med udgangspunkt i aktuel videnskabelig forskning undersøger forfatterne centrale spørgsmål om psykopati, som bl.a. hvordan psykopatiske personlighedstræk kommer til udtryk, og hvordan og hvorfor denne personlighedsforstyrrelse udvikles.Kapitlerne afdækker også praktiske spørgsmål, som hvordan psykopati differentieres fra andre psykiske lidelser, hvordan man laver en klinisk vurdering og udredning, hvilken rolle psykopati spiller i retlige sammenhænge, samt hvordan man håndterer og behandler mennesker med psykopati.Bogen henvender sig til studerende og fagfolk inden for psykologi, psykiatri, kriminologi, jura, socialt arbejde og kriminalforsorgen, men også til den interesserede læser, som gerne vil vide mere om mennesker med psykopati.

The second edition of Managing Clinical Risk is an authoritative guide on how to engage in risk assessment and management practice in evidence-based, accountable and effective ways.

A practical study of the prevention of violent extremism. Violent extremism has galvanized public fear and attention. Driven by their concerns, the public has pushed for law enforcement and mental health systems to prevent attacks rather than just respond to them after they occur. The prevention process requires guidance for practitioners and policymakers on how best to identify people who may be at risk, to understand and assess the nature and function of the harm they may cause, and to manage them to mitigate or prevent harm. Violent Extremism provides such guidance. Over ten chapters, prepared by leading experts, this handbook illuminates the nature of violent extremism and the evolution of prevention-driven practice. Authors draw on the literature and their experience to explain which factors might increase (risk factors) or decrease (protective factors) risk, how those factors might operate, and how practitioners can prepare risk formulations and scenario plans that inform risk management strategies to prevent violent extremist harm. Each chapter is crafted to support thoughtful, evidence-based practice that is transparent, accountable, and ultimately defensible. Written for an international audience, the volume will be of interest to law enforcement and mental health professionals, criminal justice and security personnel, as well as criminologists, policymakers, and researchers.
