Past and Present Research Challenges in Forensic Mental Health


June 9, 2017

This free workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners with an interest in the social aspects of forensic mental health research.

Research into forensic mental health services is a growth area, but the majority of studies have been carried out by psychiatrists or psychologists. This workshop features researchers from sociology, social work and nursing who have carried out research focussing on the social background, upbringing and points of view of people who use forensic services.

Dr Michael Coffey (Associate Professor in Mental Health, Swansea University), Dr Jeremy Dixon (Lecturer in Social Work at Bath University) and Miisa Torola (Junior Research Fellow at the University of Eastern Finland) will each talk about how they came to be involved in forensic research, how they have used social approaches to examine practice problems and what they see as the key opportunities and challenges for forensic research in the future.

The workshop will aim to identify how research examining social issues can inform mental health practice and chart future research priorities.
