Social problem-solving interventions in medium secure settings for women.
Problem-solving interventions are a feature of overall medium secure treatment programmes. However, despite the relevance of such treatment to personality disorder there are few descriptions of such interventions for women. Beneficial effects for women who completed social problem-solving group treatment were evident on a number of psychometric assessments. A treatment non-completion rate of one-third raises questions of both acceptability and timing of cognitive behavioural interventions.
