Organizing forensic mental health care : the Trinitarian model of therapeutic security to the test

The Trinitarian model of therapeutic security (environmental, procedural and relational) is used to organise forensic mental health care in Ireland, England and Scotland. However, it remains unclear whether this model captures all significant factors in forensic mental health organisation. In this study, the Trinitarian model is applied to and tested on the Belgian forensic mental health case. While the model proves to be relevant, an extension of this institution-oriented model to the policy- and service user level is recommended. Additionally, we propose to disentangle therapeutic security, risk management and psychiatric care in forensic mental health organisation.
