TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Community Care for Former Forensic Patients in the Local Mental Health Care System - Evaluation of the Basic Documentation in Two Regions JO - Psychiatrische Praxis A1 - Konrad, Michael A1 - Frank, Udo Gisbert A1 - Flammer, Erich SP - 376 EP - 381 VL - 38 IS - 8 N2 - OBJECTIVE This study analyzes, to which extent clients formerly detained in forensic psychiatric units can be integrated into the community and what kind of assistance they need. METHODS Analysis of basic documentation in community mental health care in 2 regions. RESULTS Integration into the community is feasible. Former forensic patients are more likely to show aggressive behaviour than clients without forensic history. These aggressive acts nevertheless can be handled. Aggressive acts decrease with the duration of integration. Crisis interventions are not more frequent in patients with forensic history. CONCLUSIONS Integration of patients who are "difficult to place" into a community can be accomplished by community based services with obligation to provide assistance.
